ADDENDUM
This addendum contains information that relates to the D30 Line Distance Protection System, version 5.7x. This adden-
dum lists a number of information items that appear in the instruction manual GEK-113518 (revision U1) but are not
included in the current D30 operations.
The following functions and items are not yet available with the current version of the D30 relay:
Signal sources SRC 3 to SRC 6.
Version 4.0x and higher releases of the D30 relay includes new hardware (CPU and CT/VT modules).
The new CPU modules are specified with the following order codes: 9E, 9G, 9H, 9J, 9K, 9L, 9M, 9N, 9P, 9R, and 9S.
The new CT/VT modules are specified with the following order codes: 8F, 8G 8L, 8M.
The following table maps the relationship between the old CPU and CT/VT modules to the newer versions:

MODULE OLD NEW DESCRIPTION


CPU 9A 9E RS485 and RS485 (Modbus RTU, DNP)
9C 9G RS485 and 10Base-F (Ethernet, Modbus TCP/IP, DNP)
9D 9H RS485 and redundant 10Base-F (Ethernet, Modbus TCP/IP, DNP)
--- 9J RS485 and multi-mode ST 100Base-FX
--- 9K RS485 and multi-mode ST redundant 100Base-FX
--- 9L RS485 and single mode SC 100Base-FX
--- 9M RS485 and single mode SC redundant 100Base-FX
--- 9N RS485 and 10/100Base-T
--- 9P RS485 and single mode ST 100Base-FX
--- 9R RS485 and single mode ST redundant 100Base-FX
--- 9S RS485 and six-port managed Ethernet switch
CT/VT 8A 8F Standard 4CT/4VT
8B 8G Sensitive ground 4CT/4VT
-- 8L Standard 4CT/4VT with enhanced diagnostics
-- 8M Sensitive ground 4CT/4VT with enhanced diagnostics

The new CT/VT modules can only be used with the new CPUs (9E, 9G, 9H, 9J, 9K, 9L, 9M, 9N, 9P, 9R, and 9S), and
the old CT/VT modules can only be used with the old CPU modules (9A, 9C, 9D). To prevent any hardware mis-
matches, the new CPU and CT/VT modules have blue labels and a warning sticker stating Attn.: Ensure CPU and
DSP module label colors are the same!. In the event that there is a mismatch between the CPU and CT/VT module,
the relay will not function and a DSP ERROR or HARDWARE MISMATCH error will be displayed.
All other input/output modules are compatible with the new hardware.
With respect to the firmware, firmware versions 4.0x and higher are only compatible with the new CPU and CT/VT mod-
ules. Previous versions of the firmware (3.4x and earlier) are only compatible with the older CPU and CT/VT modules.

1.2 UR OVERVIEW 1 GETTING STARTED

1.2UR OVERVIEW 1.2.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE UR

1 Historically, substation protection, control, and metering functions were performed with electromechanical equipment. This
first generation of equipment was gradually replaced by analog electronic equipment, most of which emulated the single-
function approach of their electromechanical precursors. Both of these technologies required expensive cabling and auxil-
iary equipment to produce functioning systems.
Recently, digital electronic equipment has begun to provide protection, control, and metering functions. Initially, this equip-
ment was either single function or had very limited multi-function capability, and did not significantly reduce the cabling and
auxiliary equipment required. However, recent digital relays have become quite multi-functional, reducing cabling and aux-
iliaries significantly. These devices also transfer data to central control facilities and Human Machine Interfaces using elec-
tronic communications. The functions performed by these products have become so broad that many users now prefer the
term IED (Intelligent Electronic Device).
It is obvious to station designers that the amount of cabling and auxiliary equipment installed in stations can be even further
reduced, to 20% to 70% of the levels common in 1990, to achieve large cost reductions. This requires placing even more
functions within the IEDs.
Users of power equipment are also interested in reducing cost by improving power quality and personnel productivity, and
as always, in increasing system reliability and efficiency. These objectives are realized through software which is used to
perform functions at both the station and supervisory levels. The use of these systems is growing rapidly.
High speed communications are required to meet the data transfer rates required by modern automatic control and moni-
toring systems. In the near future, very high speed communications will be required to perform protection signaling with a
performance target response time for a command signal between two IEDs, from transmission to reception, of less than 3
milliseconds. This has been established by the IEC 61850 standard.
IEDs with the capabilities outlined above will also provide significantly more power system data than is presently available,
enhance operations and maintenance, and permit the use of adaptive system configuration for protection and control sys-
tems. This new generation of equipment must also be easily incorporated into automation systems, at both the station and
enterprise levels. The GE Multilin Universal Relay (UR) has been developed to meet these goals.

1 GETTING STARTED 1.2 UR OVERVIEW

1.2.2 HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE

a) UR BASIC DESIGN 1
The UR is a digital-based device containing a central processing unit (CPU) that handles multiple types of input and output
signals. The UR can communicate over a local area network (LAN) with an operator interface, a programming device, or
another UR device.

VT Inputs Table Logic Gates Table -DNA

Remote Inputs
Direct Inputs Direct Outputs

Device Interface
827822A2.CDR

Figure 12: UR CONCEPT BLOCK DIAGRAM


The CPU module contains firmware that provides protection elements in the form of logic algorithms, as well as program-
mable logic gates, timers, and latches for control features.
Input elements accept a variety of analog or digital signals from the field. The UR isolates and converts these signals into
logic signals used by the relay.
Output elements convert and isolate the logic signals generated by the relay into digital or analog signals that can be used
to control field devices.

b) UR SIGNAL TYPES
The contact inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with connections to hard-wired contacts. Both wet and dry
contacts are supported.
The virtual inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with UR-series internal logic signals. Virtual inputs include
signals generated by the local user interface. The virtual outputs are outputs of FlexLogic equations used to customize
the device. Virtual outputs can also serve as virtual inputs to FlexLogic equations.
The analog inputs and outputs are signals that are associated with transducers, such as Resistance Temperature Detec-
tors (RTDs).
The CT and VT inputs refer to analog current transformer and voltage transformer signals used to monitor AC power lines.
The UR-series relays support 1 A and 5 A CTs.
The remote inputs and outputs provide a means of sharing digital point state information between remote UR-series
devices. The remote outputs interface to the remote inputs of other UR-series devices. Remote outputs are FlexLogic
operands inserted into IEC 61850 GSSE and GOOSE messages.
The direct inputs and outputs provide a means of sharing digital point states between a number of UR-series IEDs over a
dedicated fiber (single or multimode), RS422, or G.703 interface. No switching equipment is required as the IEDs are con-
nected directly in a ring or redundant (dual) ring configuration. This feature is optimized for speed and intended for pilot-
aided schemes, distributed logic applications, or the extension of the input/output capabilities of a single relay chassis.

1.2 UR OVERVIEW 1 GETTING STARTED

c) UR SCAN OPERATION

1 The UR-series devices operate in a cyclic scan fashion. The device reads the inputs into an input status table, solves the
logic program (FlexLogic equation), and then sets each output to the appropriate state in an output status table. Any
resulting task execution is priority interrupt-driven.

1.2.3 SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

The firmware (software embedded in the relay) is designed in functional modules which can be installed in any relay as
required. This is achieved with object-oriented design and programming (OOD/OOP) techniques.
Object-oriented techniques involve the use of objects and classes. An object is defined as a logical entity that contains
both data and code that manipulates that data. A class is the generalized form of similar objects. By using this concept,
one can create a protection class with the protection elements as objects of the class, such as time overcurrent, instanta-
neous overcurrent, current differential, undervoltage, overvoltage, underfrequency, and distance. These objects represent
completely self-contained software modules. The same object-class concept can be used for metering, input/output control,
hmi, communications, or any functional entity in the system.
Employing OOD/OOP in the software architecture of the D30 achieves the same features as the hardware architecture:
modularity, scalability, and flexibility. The application software for any UR-series device (for example, feeder protection,
transformer protection, distance protection) is constructed by combining objects from the various functionality classes. This
results in a common look and feel across the entire family of UR-series platform-based applications.

1.2.4 IMPORTANT CONCEPTS

As described above, the architecture of the UR-series relays differ from previous devices. To achieve a general understand-
ing of this device, some sections of Chapter 5 are quite helpful. The most important functions of the relay are contained in
elements. A description of the UR-series elements can be found in the Introduction to elements section in chapter 5.
Examples of simple elements, and some of the organization of this manual, can be found in the Control elements section of
chapter 5. An explanation of the use of inputs from CTs and VTs is in the Introduction to AC sources section in chapter 5. A
description of how digital signals are used and routed within the relay is contained in the Introduction to FlexLogic section
in chapter 5.

carefully.

1.4.2 COMMUNICATIONS

The EnerVista UR Setup software communicates to the relay via the faceplate RS232 port or the rear panel RS485 / Ether-
net ports. To communicate via the faceplate RS232 port, a standard straight-through serial cable is used. The DB-9 male
end is connected to the relay and the DB-9 or DB-25 female end is connected to the PC COM1 or COM2 port as described
in the CPU communications ports section of chapter 3.

Figure 17: RELAY COMMUNICATIONS OPTIONS


To communicate through the D30 rear RS485 port from a PC RS232 port, the GE Multilin RS232/RS485 converter box is
required. This device (catalog number F485) connects to the computer using a straight-through serial cable. A shielded
twisted-pair (20, 22, or 24 AWG) connects the F485 converter to the D30 rear communications port. The converter termi-
nals (+, , GND) are connected to the D30 communication module (+, , COM) terminals. Refer to the CPU communica-
tions ports section in chapter 3 for option details. The line should be terminated with an R-C network (that is, 120 , 1 nF)
as described in the chapter 3.

1.4.3 FACEPLATE DISPLAY

All messages are displayed on a 2 20 backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) to make them visible under poor lighting condi-
tions. Messages are descriptive and should not require the aid of an instruction manual for deciphering. While the keypad
and display are not actively being used, the display will default to user-defined messages. Any high priority event driven
message will automatically override the default message and appear on the display.

1.5.7 COMMISSIONING

The D30 requires a minimum amount of maintenance when it is commissioned into service. Since the D30 is a micropro-
1
cessor-based relay, its characteristics do not change over time. As such, no further functional tests are required.
Furthermore, the D30 performs a number of continual self-tests and takes the necessary action in case of any major errors
(see the Relay Self-tests section in chapter 7 for details). However, it is recommended that D30 maintenance be scheduled
with other system maintenance. This maintenance may involve the in-service, out-of-service, or unscheduled maintenance.
In-service maintenance:
1. Visual verification of the analog values integrity such as voltage and current (in comparison to other devices on the cor-
responding system).
2. Visual verification of active alarms, relay display messages, and LED indications.
3. LED test.
4. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, dust, or loose wires.
5. Event recorder file download with further events analysis.
Out-of-service maintenance:
1. Check wiring connections for firmness.
2. Analog values (currents, voltages, RTDs, analog inputs) injection test and metering accuracy verification. Calibrated
test equipment is required.
3. Protection elements setting verification (analog values injection or visual verification of setting file entries against relay
settings schedule).
4. Contact inputs and outputs verification. This test can be conducted by direct change of state forcing or as part of the
system functional testing.
5. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, or dust.
6. Event recorder file download with further events analysis.
7. LED Test and pushbutton continuity check.
Unscheduled maintenance such as during a disturbance causing system interruption:
1. View the event recorder and oscillography or fault report for correct operation of inputs, outputs, and elements.
If it is concluded that the relay or one of its modules is of concern, contact GE Multilin for prompt service.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1INTRODUCTION 2.1.1 OVERVIEW

The D30 Line Distance Protection System is a microprocessor-based relay intended for use on transmission lines of any
voltage level, without, with, and in the vicinity of series compensation, in three-pole tripping applications. The primary func-
tion of the relay consists of three phase and ground distance zones of protection, either mho or quadrilateral as per user
selection. The distance elements are optimized to provide good measurement accuracy with a fast operating time, even
when used with capacitive voltage transformers, and can be supervised by detection of power swings. The relay also pro-
vides directional ground overcurrent elements, which are commonly used as part of an overall line protection system.
2
D30 phase distance zones can be configured to work with voltages and currents fed from VTs and CTs located indepen-
dently from one another on either side of a three-phase power transformer. The relay compensates accordingly to preserve
reach and correct target information regardless of the location and type of fault. This feature allows backup protection appli-
cations for generators and power transformers.
A close-into-fault (or switch-on-to-fault) function is performed by the line pickup element. Out-of-step tripping, three-pole
autoreclosing, synchrocheck, fault location, and many other functions are also available. In addition, overcurrent and
undervoltage protection, fault diagnostics, power metering, and RTU functions are provided. The D30 provides phase, neu-
tral, and ground time overcurrent protection. The time overcurrent functions can be programmed with multiple curve shapes
or FlexCurve for optimum coordination.
Voltage, current, and power metering is built into the relay as a standard feature. Current parameters are available as total
waveform RMS magnitude, or as fundamental frequency only RMS magnitude and angle (phasor).
Diagnostic features include an event recorder capable of storing 1024 time-tagged events, oscillography capable of storing
up to 64 records with programmable trigger, content and sampling rate, and data logger acquisition of up to 16 channels,
with programmable content and sampling rate. The internal clock used for time-tagging can be synchronized via IRIG-B or
via the SNTP protocol over the Ethernet port. This precise time stamping allows the sequence of events to be determined
throughout the system. Events can also be programmed (via FlexLogic equations) to trigger oscillography data capture
which may be set to record the measured parameters before and after the event for viewing on a personal computer (PC).
These tools significantly reduce troubleshooting time and simplify report generation in the event of a system fault.
A faceplate RS232 port may be used to connect to a PC for the programming of settings and the monitoring of actual val-
ues. A variety of communications modules are available. Two rear RS485 ports allow independent access by operating and
engineering staff. All serial ports use the Modbus RTU protocol. The RS485 ports may be connected to system computers
with baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. The RS232 port has a fixed baud rate of 19.2 kbps. Optional communications modules
include a 10Base-F Ethernet interface which can be used to provide fast, reliable communications in noisy environments.
Another option provides two 10Base-F fiber optic ports for redundancy. The Ethernet port supports IEC 61850, Modbus/
TCP, and TFTP protocols, and allows access to the relay via any standard web browser (D30 web pages). The IEC 60870-
5-104 protocol is supported on the Ethernet port. DNP 3.0 and IEC 60870-5-104 cannot be enabled at the same time.
The D30 IEDs use flash memory technology which allows field upgrading as new features are added. The following single
line diagram illustrates the relay functionality using ANSI (American National Standards Institute) device numbers.

To calculate the maximum fiber length, divide the worst-case opti-

attenuation for 62.5/125 m glass fiber optic cable is approxi-
mately 2.8 dB per km. In our example, this would result in the fol-

The customer must use the attenuation specified within the manu-
facturer data sheets for accurate calculation of the maximum fiber
length.

a) HORIZONTAL UNITS
The D30 Line Distance Protection System is available as a 19-inch rack horizontal mount unit with a removable faceplate.
The faceplate can be specified as either standard or enhanced at the time of ordering. The enhanced faceplate contains
additional user-programmable pushbuttons and LED indicators.
The modular design allows the relay to be easily upgraded or repaired by a qualified service person. The faceplate is
hinged to allow easy access to the removable modules, and is itself removable to allow mounting on doors with limited rear
depth. There is also a removable dust cover that fits over the faceplate, which must be removed when attempting to access
the keypad or RS232 communications port.
The case dimensions are shown below, along with panel cutout details for panel mounting. When planning the location of
your panel cutout, ensure that provision is made for the faceplate to swing open without interference to or from adjacent
equipment.

The relay must be mounted such that the faceplate sits semi-flush with the panel or switchgear door, allowing the operator
access to the keypad and the RS232 communications port. The relay is secured to the panel with the use of four screws
supplied with the relay.

WARNING

The relay, being modular in design, allows for the withdrawal and insertion of modules. Modules must only be replaced with
like modules in their original factory configured slots.
The enhanced faceplate can be opened to the left, once the thumb screw has been removed, as shown below. This allows
for easy accessibility of the modules for withdrawal. The new wide-angle hinge assembly in the enhanced front panel opens
completely and allows easy access to all modules in the D30.

Figure 39: UR MODULE WITHDRAWAL AND INSERTION (STANDARD FACEPLATE)


To properly remove a module, the ejector/inserter clips, located at the top and bottom of each module, must be pulled
simultaneously. Before performing this action, control power must be removed from the relay. Record the original loca-
tion of the module to ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted into the correct slot. Modules with current
input provide automatic shorting of external CT circuits.
To properly insert a module, ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot position. The ejector/
inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged position as the module is
smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage the clips simultaneously.
When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.
All CPU modules except the 9E are equipped with 10/100Base-T or 100Base-F Ethernet connectors. These con-
nectors must be individually disconnected from the module before it can be removed from the chassis.

3.1 DESCRIPTION 3 HARDWARE

The 4.0x release of the D30 relay includes new hardware modules.The new CPU modules are specified with codes
9E and higher. The new CT/VT modules are specified with the codes 8F and higher.
NOTE
The new CT/VT modules can only be used with new CPUs; similarly, old CT/VT modules can only be used with old
CPUs. To prevent hardware mismatches, the new modules have blue labels and a warning sticker stating Attn.:
Ensure CPU and DSP module label colors are the same!. In the event that there is a mismatch between the
CPU and CT/VT module, the relay will not function and a DSP ERROR or HARDWARE MISMATCH error will be dis-
played.
All other input and output modules are compatible with the new hardware. Firmware versions 4.0x and higher are
only compatible with the new hardware modules. Previous versions of the firmware (3.4x and earlier) are only com-
patible with the older hardware modules.

Filter networks and transient protection clamps are used in the hardware to prevent damage caused by high peak voltage
transients, radio frequency interference (RFI), and electromagnetic interference (EMI). These protective components can
be damaged by application of the ANSI/IEEE C37.90 specified test voltage for a period longer than the specified one min-
ute.

3.2.3 CONTROL POWER

CONTROL POWER SUPPLIED TO THE RELAY MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE MATCHING POWER SUPPLY
RANGE OF THE RELAY. IF THE VOLTAGE IS APPLIED TO THE WRONG TERMINALS, DAMAGE MAY
CAUTION
OCCUR!
The D30 relay, like almost all electronic relays, contains electrolytic capacitors. These capacitors are well
known to be subject to deterioration over time if voltage is not applied periodically. Deterioration can be
NOTE
avoided by powering the relays up once a year.
The power supply module can be ordered for two possible voltage ranges, with or without a redundant power option. Each
range has a dedicated input connection for proper operation. The ranges are as shown below (see the Technical specifica-
tions section of chapter 2 for additional details):
Low (LO) range: 24 to 48 V (DC only) nominal.
High (HI) range: 125 to 250 V nominal.
The power supply module provides power to the relay and supplies power for dry contact input connections.
The power supply module provides 48 V DC power for dry contact input connections and a critical failure relay (see the
Typical wiring diagram earlier). The critical failure relay is a form-C device that will be energized once control power is
applied and the relay has successfully booted up with no critical self-test failures. If on-going self-test diagnostic checks
detect a critical failure (see the Self-test errors section in chapter 7) or control power is lost, the relay will de-energize.
For high reliability systems, the D30 has a redundant option in which two D30 power supplies are placed in parallel on the
bus. If one of the power supplies become faulted, the second power supply will assume the full load of the relay without any
interruptions. Each power supply has a green LED on the front of the module to indicate it is functional. The critical fail relay
of the module will also indicate a faulted power supply.

3.2.4 CT/VT MODULES

A CT/VT module may have voltage inputs on channels 1 through 4 inclusive, or channels 5 through 8 inclusive. Channels 1
and 5 are intended for connection to phase A, and are labeled as such in the relay. Likewise, channels 2 and 6 are intended
for connection to phase B, and channels 3 and 7 are intended for connection to phase C.
Channels 4 and 8 are intended for connection to a single-phase source. For voltage inputs, these channel are labelled as
auxiliary voltage (VX). For current inputs, these channels are intended for connection to a CT between system neutral and
ground, and are labelled as ground current (IG).
Verify that the connection made to the relay nominal current of 1 A or 5 A matches the secondary rating of
the connected CTs. Unmatched CTs may result in equipment damage or inadequate protection.
CAUTION

CT/VT modules may be ordered with a standard ground current input that is the same as the phase current input. Each AC
current input has an isolating transformer and an automatic shorting mechanism that shorts the input when the module is
withdrawn from the chassis. There are no internal ground connections on the current inputs. Current transformers with 1 to
50000 A primaries and 1 A or 5 A secondaries may be used.
CT/VT modules with a sensitive ground input are also available. The ground CT input of the sensitive ground modules is
ten times more sensitive than the ground CT input of standard CT/VT modules. However, the phase CT inputs and phase
VT inputs are the same as those of regular CT/VT modules.
The above modules are available with enhanced diagnostics. These modules can automatically detect CT/VT hardware
failure and take the relay out of service.
CT connections for both ABC and ACB phase rotations are identical as shown in the Typical wiring diagram.
The exact placement of a zero-sequence core balance CT to detect ground fault current is shown below. Twisted-pair
cabling on the zero-sequence CT is recommended.

3.2.5 PROCESS BUS MODULES

The D30 can be ordered with a process bus interface module. This module is designed to interface with the GE Multilin
HardFiber system, allowing bi-directional IEC 61850 fiber optic communications with up to eight HardFiber merging units,
known as Bricks. The HardFiber system has been designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing UR-series applica-
tions, including protection functions, FlexLogic, metering, and communications.
The IEC 61850 process bus system offers the following benefits.
Drastically reduces labor associated with design, installation, and testing of protection and control applications using
the D30 by reducing the number of individual copper terminations.
Integrates seamlessly with existing D30 applications, since the IEC 61850 process bus interface module replaces the
traditional CT/VT modules.
Communicates using open standard IEC 61850 messaging.
For additional details on the HardFiber system, refer to GE publication GEK-113500: HardFiber System Instruction Manual.

3.2.6 CONTACT INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Every contact input/output module has 24 terminal connections. They are arranged as three terminals per row, with eight
rows in total. A given row of three terminals may be used for the outputs of one relay. For example, for form-C relay outputs,
the terminals connect to the normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common contacts of the relay. For a form-A
output, there are options of using current or voltage detection for feature supervision, depending on the module ordered.
The terminal configuration for contact inputs is different for the two applications.
The contact inputs are grouped with a common return. The D30 has two versions of grouping: four inputs per common
return and two inputs per common return. When a contact input/output module is ordered, four inputs per common is used.
The four inputs per common allows for high-density inputs in combination with outputs, with a compromise of four inputs
sharing one common. If the inputs must be isolated per row, then two inputs per common return should be selected (4D
module).

3 The tables and diagrams on the following pages illustrate the module types (6A, etc.) and contact arrangements that may
be ordered for the relay. Since an entire row is used for a single contact output, the name is assigned using the module slot
position and row number. However, since there are two contact inputs per row, these names are assigned by module slot
position, row number, and column position.
Some form-A / solid-state relay outputs include circuits to monitor the DC voltage across the output contact when it is open,
and the DC current through the output contact when it is closed. Each of the monitors contains a level detector whose out-
put is set to logic On = 1 when the current in the circuit is above the threshold setting. The voltage monitor is set to On =
1 when the current is above about 1 to 2.5 mA, and the current monitor is set to On = 1 when the current exceeds about
80 to 100 mA. The voltage monitor is intended to check the health of the overall trip circuit, and the current monitor can be
used to seal-in the output contact until an external contact has interrupted current flow.
Block diagrams are shown below for form-A and solid-state relay outputs with optional voltage monitor, optional current
monitor, and with no monitoring. The actual values shown for contact output 1 are the same for all contact outputs.

The operation of voltage and current monitors is reflected with the corresponding FlexLogic operands (CONT OP # VON,
CONT OP # VOFF, and CONT OP # ION) which can be used in protection, control, and alarm logic. The typical application of
the voltage monitor is breaker trip circuit integrity monitoring; a typical application of the current monitor is seal-in of the
control command.

Refer to the Digital elements section of chapter 5 for an example of how form-A and solid-state relay contacts can be
applied for breaker trip circuit integrity monitoring.
Relay contacts must be considered unsafe to touch when the unit is energized! If the relay contacts need to
be used for low voltage accessible applications, it is the customers responsibility to ensure proper insula-
WARNING
tion levels!
USE OF FORM-A AND SOLID-STATE RELAY OUTPUTS IN HIGH IMPEDANCE CIRCUITS

NOTE For form-A and solid-state relay output contacts internally equipped with a voltage measuring cIrcuit across the
contact, the circuit has an impedance that can cause a problem when used in conjunction with external high input
impedance monitoring equipment such as modern relay test set trigger circuits. These monitoring circuits may con-
tinue to read the form-A contact as being closed after it has closed and subsequently opened, when measured as
an impedance.
The solution to this problem is to use the voltage measuring trigger input of the relay test set, and connect the form-
A contact through a voltage-dropping resistor to a DC voltage source. If the 48 V DC output of the power supply is 3
used as a source, a 500 , 10 W resistor is appropriate. In this configuration, the voltage across either the form-A
contact or the resistor can be used to monitor the state of the output.
Wherever a tilde ~ symbol appears, substitute with the slot position of the module; wherever a number
sign # appears, substitute the contact number
NOTE

When current monitoring is used to seal-in the form-A and solid-state relay contact outputs, the Flex-
Logic operand driving the contact output should be given a reset delay of 10 ms to prevent damage of
NOTE
the output contact (in situations when the element initiating the contact output is bouncing, at values in the
region of the pickup value).

CONTACT INPUTS:
A dry contact has one side connected to terminal B3b. This is the positive 48 V DC voltage rail supplied by the power sup-
ply module. The other side of the dry contact is connected to the required contact input terminal. Each contact input group
has its own common (negative) terminal which must be connected to the DC negative terminal (B3a) of the power supply
module. When a dry contact closes, a current of 1 to 3 mA will flow through the associated circuit.
A wet contact has one side connected to the positive terminal of an external DC power supply. The other side of this contact
is connected to the required contact input terminal. If a wet contact is used, then the negative side of the external source
must be connected to the relay common (negative) terminal of each contact group. The maximum external source voltage
for this arrangement is 300 V DC.
The voltage threshold at which each group of four contact inputs will detect a closed contact input is programmable as
17 V DC for 24 V sources, 33 V DC for 48 V sources, 84 V DC for 110 to 125 V sources, and 166 V DC for 250 V sources.

NOTE

Contact outputs may be ordered as form-a or form-C. The form-A contacts may be connected for external circuit supervi-
sion. These contacts are provided with voltage and current monitoring circuits used to detect the loss of DC voltage in the
circuit, and the presence of DC current flowing through the contacts when the form-A contact closes. If enabled, the current
monitoring can be used as a seal-in signal to ensure that the form-A contact does not attempt to break the energized induc-
tive coil circuit and weld the output contacts.
There is no provision in the relay to detect a DC ground fault on 48 V DC control power external output. We
recommend using an external DC supply.

USE OF CONTACT INPUTS WITH AUTO-BURNISHING:


The contact inputs sense a change of the state of the external device contact based on the measured current. When exter-
nal devices are located in a harsh industrial environment (either outdoor or indoor), their contacts can be exposed to vari-
ous types of contamination. Normally, there is a thin film of insulating sulfidation, oxidation, or contaminates on the surface
of the contacts, sometimes making it difficult or impossible to detect a change of the state. This film must be removed to
establish circuit continuity an impulse of higher than normal current can accomplish this.
The contact inputs with auto-burnish create a high current impulse when the threshold is reached to burn off this oxidation
layer as a maintenance to the contacts. Afterwards the contact input current is reduced to a steady-state current. The
impulse will have a 5 second delay after a contact input changes state.

Figure 320: CURRENT THROUGH CONTACT INPUTS WITH AUTO-BURNISHING


Regular contact inputs limit current to less than 3 mA to reduce station battery burden. In contrast, contact inputs with auto-
burnishing allow currents up to 50 to 70 mA at the first instance when the change of state was sensed. Then, within 25 to
50 ms, this current is slowly reduced to 3 mA as indicated above. The 50 to 70 mA peak current burns any film on the con-
tacts, allowing for proper sensing of state changes. If the external device contact is bouncing, the auto-burnishing starts
when external device contact bouncing is over.
Another important difference between the auto-burnishing input module and the regular input modules is that only two con-
tact inputs have common ground, as opposed to four contact inputs sharing one common ground (refer to the Contact Input
and Output Module Wiring diagrams). This is beneficial when connecting contact inputs to separate voltage sources. Con-
sequently, the threshold voltage setting is also defined per group of two contact inputs.
The auto-burnish feature can be disabled or enabled using the DIP switches found on each daughter card. There is a DIP
switch for each contact, for a total of 16 inputs.

3.2.7 TRANSDUCER INPUTS/OUTPUTS

Transducer input modules can receive input signals from external dcmA output transducers (dcmA In) or resistance tem-
perature detectors (RTD). Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from these external transducers and con-
vert these signals into a digital format for use as required.
Transducer output modules provide DC current outputs in several standard dcmA ranges. Software is provided to configure
virtually any analog quantity used in the relay to drive the analog outputs.
Every transducer input/output module has a total of 24 terminal connections. These connections are arranged as three ter-
minals per row with a total of eight rows. A given row may be used for either inputs or outputs, with terminals in column "a"
having positive polarity and terminals in column "c" having negative polarity. Since an entire row is used for a single input/
output channel, the name of the channel is assigned using the module slot position and row number.
Each module also requires that a connection from an external ground bus be made to terminal 8b. The current outputs
require a twisted-pair shielded cable, where the shield is grounded at one end only. The figure below illustrates the trans- 3
ducer module types (5A, 5C, 5D, 5E, and 5F) and channel arrangements that may be ordered for the relay.
Wherever a tilde ~ symbol appears, substitute with the slot position of the module.

b) RS485 PORTS
RS485 data transmission and reception are accomplished over a single twisted pair with transmit and receive data alternat-
ing over the same two wires. Through the use of these ports, continuous monitoring and control from a remote computer,
SCADA system or PLC is possible.
To minimize errors from noise, the use of shielded twisted pair wire is recommended. Correct polarity must also be
observed. For instance, the relays must be connected with all RS485 + terminals connected together, and all RS485
terminals connected together. The COM terminal should be connected to the common wire inside the shield, when pro-
vided. To avoid loop currents, the shield should be grounded at one point only. Each relay should also be daisy chained to
the next one in the link. A maximum of 32 relays can be connected in this manner without exceeding driver capability. For
larger systems, additional serial channels must be added. It is also possible to use commercially available repeaters to
increase the number of relays on a single channel to more than 32. Star or stub connections should be avoided entirely.
Lightning strikes and ground surge currents can cause large momentary voltage differences between remote ends of the
3 communication link. For this reason, surge protection devices are internally provided at both communication ports. An iso-
lated power supply with an optocoupled data interface also acts to reduce noise coupling. To ensure maximum reliability, all
equipment should have similar transient protection devices installed.
Both ends of the RS485 circuit should also be terminated with an impedance as shown below.

CAUTION
OBSERVING ANY FIBER TRANSMITTER OUTPUT MAY CAUSE INJURY TO THE EYE.

CAUTION

The fiber optic communication ports allow for fast and efficient communications between relays at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
Optical fiber may be connected to the relay supporting a wavelength of 820 nm in multi-mode or 1310 nm in multi-mode
and single-mode. The 10 Mbps rate is available for CPU modules 9G and 9H; 100Mbps is available for modules 9H, 9J, 9K,
9L, 9M, 9N, 9P, and 9R. The 9H, 9K, 9M, and 9R modules have a second pair of identical optical fiber transmitter and
receiver for redundancy.
The optical fiber sizes supported include 50/125 m, 62.5/125 m and 100/140 m for 10 Mbps. The fiber optic port is
designed such that the response times will not vary for any core that is 100 m or less in diameter, 62.5 m for 100 Mbps. 3
For optical power budgeting, splices are required every 1 km for the transmitter/receiver pair. When splicing optical fibers,
the diameter and numerical aperture of each fiber must be the same. In order to engage or disengage the ST type connec-
tor, only a quarter turn of the coupling is required.

IRIG-B is a standard time code format that allows stamping of events to be synchronized among connected devices within
1 millisecond. The IRIG time code formats are serial, width-modulated codes which can be either DC level shifted or ampli-
tude modulated (AM). Third party equipment is available for generating the IRIG-B signal; this equipment may use a GPS
satellite system to obtain the time reference so that devices at different geographic locations can also be synchronized.

3.3DIRECT INPUT/OUTPUT COMMUNICATIONS 3.3.1 DESCRIPTION

The D30 direct inputs and outputs feature makes use of the type 7 series of communications modules. These modules are
also used by the L90 Line Differential Relay for inter-relay communications. The direct input and output feature uses the
communications channels provided by these modules to exchange digital state information between relays. This feature is
available on all UR-series relay models except for the L90 Line Differential relay.
The communications channels are normally connected in a ring configuration as shown below. The transmitter of one mod-
ule is connected to the receiver of the next module. The transmitter of this second module is then connected to the receiver
of the next module in the ring. This is continued to form a communications ring. The figure below illustrates a ring of four
UR-series relays with the following connections: UR1-Tx to UR2-Rx, UR2-Tx to UR3-Rx, UR3-Tx to UR4-Rx, and UR4-Tx
to UR1-Rx. A maximum of sixteen (16) UR-series relays can be connected in a single ring

connections are: UR1-Tx1 to UR2-Rx1, UR2-Tx1 to UR3-Rx1, UR3-Tx1 to UR4-Rx1, and UR4-Tx1 to UR1-Rx1 for the first
ring; and UR1-Tx2 to UR4-Rx2, UR4-Tx2 to UR3-Rx2, UR3-Tx2 to UR2-Rx2, and UR2-Tx2 to UR1-Rx2 for the second
ring.

Figure 329: DIRECT INPUT AND OUTPUT DUAL CHANNEL CONNECTION


The following diagram shows the connection for three UR-series relays using two independent communication channels.
UR1 and UR3 have single type 7 communication modules; UR2 has a dual-channel module. The two communication chan-
nels can be of different types, depending on the Type 7 modules used. To allow the direct input and output data to cross-
over from channel 1 to channel 2 on UR2, the DIRECT I/O CHANNEL CROSSOVER setting should be Enabled on UR2. This
forces UR2 to forward messages received on Rx1 out Tx2, and messages received on Rx2 out Tx1.

NOTE

AWG 24 twisted shielded pair is recommended for external connections, with the shield grounded only at one end. Con-
necting the shield to pin X1a or X6a grounds the shield since these pins are internally connected to ground. Thus, if pin X1a

Pin nomenclature may differ from one manufacturer to another. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see pin-
outs numbered TxA, TxB, RxA and RxB. In such cases, it can be assumed that A is equivalent to + and
NOTE
B is equivalent to .

b) G.703 SELECTION SWITCH PROCEDURES


1. Remove the G.703 module (7R or 7S). The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module,
must be pulled simultaneously in order to release the module for removal. Before performing this action, control
power must be removed from the relay. The original location of the module should be recorded to help ensure that
the same or replacement module is inserted into the correct slot.
2. Remove the module cover screw.
3. Remove the top cover by sliding it towards the rear and then lift it upwards.
4. Set the timing selection switches (channel 1, channel 2) to the desired timing modes.
5. Replace the top cover and the cover screw.

6. Re-insert the G.703 module. Take care to ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot position.
The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged position as
the module is smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage the
clips simultaneously. When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.

Figure 335: G.703 TIMING SELECTION SWITCH SETTING

Table 35: G.703 TIMING SELECTIONS


SWITCHES FUNCTION
S1 OFF octet timing disabled
ON octet timing 8 kHz
S5 and S6 S5 = OFF and S6 = OFF loop timing mode
S5 = ON and S6 = OFF internal timing mode
S5 = OFF and S6 = ON minimum remote loopback mode
S5 = ON and S6 = ON dual loopback mode

c) G.703 OCTET TIMING


If octet timing is enabled (on), this 8 kHz signal will be asserted during the violation of bit 8 (LSB) necessary for connecting
to higher order systems. When D30s are connected back to back, octet timing should be disabled (off).

d) G.703 TIMING MODES


There are two timing modes for the G.703 module: internal timing mode and loop timing mode (default).
Internal Timing Mode: The system clock is generated internally. Therefore, the G.703 timing selection should be in
the internal timing mode for back-to-back (UR-to-UR) connections. For back-to-back connections, set for octet timing
(S1 = OFF) and timing mode to internal timing (S5 = ON and S6 = OFF).
Loop Timing Mode: The system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, the G.703 timing selection
should be in loop timing mode for connections to higher order systems. For connection to a higher order system (UR-
to-multiplexer, factory defaults), set to octet timing (S1 = ON) and set timing mode to loop timing (S5 = OFF and S6 =
OFF).

The switch settings for the internal and loop timing modes are shown below:

e) G.703 TEST MODES

3 In minimum remote loopback mode, the multiplexer is enabled to return the data from the external interface without any
processing to assist in diagnosing G.703 line-side problems irrespective of clock rate. Data enters from the G.703 inputs,
passes through the data stabilization latch which also restores the proper signal polarity, passes through the multiplexer
and then returns to the transmitter. The differential received data is processed and passed to the G.703 transmitter module
after which point the data is discarded. The G.703 receiver module is fully functional and continues to process data and
passes it to the differential Manchester transmitter module. Since timing is returned as it is received, the timing source is
expected to be from the G.703 line side of the interface.

DMX G7R
842774A1.CDR

Figure 336: G.703 MINIMUM REMOTE LOOPBACK MODE


In dual loopback mode, the multiplexers are active and the functions of the circuit are divided into two with each receiver/
transmitter pair linked together to deconstruct and then reconstruct their respective signals. Differential Manchester data
enters the Differential Manchester receiver module and then is returned to the differential Manchester transmitter module.
Likewise, G.703 data enters the G.703 receiver module and is passed through to the G.703 transmitter module to be
returned as G.703 data. Because of the complete split in the communications path and because, in each case, the clocks
are extracted and reconstructed with the outgoing data, in this mode there must be two independent sources of timing. One
source lies on the G.703 line side of the interface while the other lies on the differential Manchester side of the interface.

3.3.5 RS422 INTERFACE

a) DESCRIPTION
There are two RS422 inter-relay communications modules available: single-channel RS422 (module 7T) and dual-channel
RS422 (module 7W). The modules can be configured to run at 64 kbps or 128 kbps. AWG 24 twisted shielded pair cable is
recommended for external connections. These modules are protected by optically-isolated surge suppression devices.
The shield pins (6a and 7b) are internally connected to the ground pin (8a). Proper shield termination is as follows:
Site 1: Terminate shield to pins 6a or 7b or both.
Site 2: Terminate shield to COM pin 2b.
The clock terminating impedance should match the impedance of the line.

The following figure shows the typical pin interconnection between two single-channel RS422 interfaces installed in slot W.
All pin interconnections are to be maintained for a connection to a multiplexer.

Figure 339: TYPICAL PIN INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN TWO RS422 INTERFACES

b) TWO-CHANNEL APPLICATION VIA MULTIPLEXERS


The RS422 interface may be used for single channel or two channel applications over SONET/SDH or multiplexed sys-
tems. When used in single-channel applications, the RS422 interface links to higher order systems in a typical fashion
observing transmit (Tx), receive (Rx), and send timing (ST) connections. However, when used in two-channel applications,
certain criteria must be followed since there is one clock input for the two RS422 channels. The system will function cor-
rectly if the following connections are observed and your data module has a terminal timing feature. Terminal timing is a
common feature to most synchronous data units that allows the module to accept timing from an external source. Using the
terminal timing feature, two channel applications can be achieved if these connections are followed: The send timing out-
puts from the multiplexer (data module 1), will connect to the clock inputs of the URRS422 interface in the usual fashion.
In addition, the send timing outputs of data module 1 will also be paralleled to the terminal timing inputs of data module 2.
By using this configuration, the timing for both data modules and both URRS422 channels will be derived from a single
clock source. As a result, data sampling for both of the URRS422 channels will be synchronized via the send timing leads
on data module 1 as shown below. If the terminal timing feature is not available or this type of connection is not desired, the
G.703 interface is a viable option that does not impose timing restrictions.

Figure 340: TIMING CONFIGURATION FOR RS422 TWO-CHANNEL, 3-TERMINAL APPLICATION


Data module 1 provides timing to the D30 RS422 interface via the ST(A) and ST(B) outputs. Data module 1 also provides
timing to data module 2 TT(A) and TT(B) inputs via the ST(A) and AT(B) outputs. The data module pin numbers have been
omitted in the figure above since they may vary depending on the manufacturer.

c) TRANSMIT TIMING
The RS422 interface accepts one clock input for transmit timing. It is important that the rising edge of the 64 kHz transmit
timing clock of the multiplexer interface is sampling the data in the center of the transmit data window. Therefore, it is impor-
tant to confirm clock and data transitions to ensure proper system operation. For example, the following figure shows the
positive edge of the Tx clock in the center of the Tx data bit.

Tx Clock

Tx Data

Figure 341: CLOCK AND DATA TRANSITIONS

d) RECEIVE TIMING
The RS422 interface utilizes NRZI-MARK modulation code and; therefore, does not rely on an Rx clock to recapture data.
NRZI-MARK is an edge-type, invertible, self-clocking code.

3-34 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


3 HARDWARE 3.3 DIRECT INPUT/OUTPUT COMMUNICATIONS

To recover the Rx clock from the data-stream, an integrated DPLL (digital phase lock loop) circuit is utilized. The DPLL is
driven by an internal clock, which is 16-times over-sampled, and uses this clock along with the data-stream to generate a
data clock that can be used as the SCC (serial communication controller) receive clock.

via the RS422 interface (possibly with a multiplexer) and channel 2 via direct fiber.
AWG 24 twisted shielded pair is recommended for external RS422 connections and the shield should be grounded only at
one end. For the direct fiber channel, power budget issues should be addressed properly.

3.3.8 IEEE C37.94 INTERFACE

The UR-series IEEE C37.94 communication modules (modules types 2G, 2H, 76, and 77) are designed to interface with
IEEE C37.94 compliant digital multiplexers or an IEEE C37.94 compliant interface converter for use with direct input and
output applications for firmware revisions 3.30 and higher. The IEEE C37.94 standard defines a point-to-point optical link
for synchronous data between a multiplexer and a teleprotection device. This data is typically 64 kbps, but the standard
provides for speeds up to 64n kbps, where n = 1, 2,, 12. The UR-series C37.94 communication modules are either
64 kbps (with n fixed at 1) for 128 kbps (with n fixed at 2). The frame is a valid International Telecommunications Union
(ITU-T) recommended G.704 pattern from the standpoint of framing and data rate. The frame is 256 bits and is repeated at
a frame rate of 8000 Hz, with a resultant bit rate of 2048 kbps.
The specifications for the module are as follows:.
IEEE standard: C37.94 for 1 128 kbps optical fiber interface (for 2G and 2H modules) or C37.94 for 2 64 kbps opti-
3
cal fiber interface (for 76 and 77 modules).
Fiber optic cable type: 50 mm or 62.5 mm core diameter optical fiber.
Fiber optic mode: multi-mode.
Fiber optic cable length: up to 2 km.
Fiber optic connector: type ST.
Wavelength: 830 40 nm.
Connection: as per all fiber optic connections, a Tx to Rx connection is required.
The UR-series C37.94 communication module can be connected directly to any compliant digital multiplexer that supports
the IEEE C37.94 standard as shown below.

The UR-series C37.94 communication module can be connected to the electrical interface (G.703, RS422, or X.21) of a
non-compliant digital multiplexer via an optical-to-electrical interface converter that supports the IEEE C37.94 standard, as
shown below.

The UR-series C37.94 communication module has six (6) switches that are used to set the clock configuration. The func-
tions of these control switches is shown below.

For the internal timing mode, the system clock is generated internally. therefore, the timing switch selection should be inter-
nal timing for relay 1 and loop timed for relay 2. There must be only one timing source configured.
For the looped timing mode, the system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, the timing selection
should be in loop timing mode for connections to higher order systems.
The IEEE C37.94 communications module cover removal procedure is as follows:
1. Remove the IEEE C37.94 module (type 2G, 2H, 76, or 77 module):
The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module, must be pulled simultaneously in order
to release the module for removal. Before performing this action, control power must be removed from the relay.
The original location of the module should be recorded to help ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted
into the correct slot.
2. Remove the module cover screw.
3. Remove the top cover by sliding it towards the rear and then lift it upwards. 3
4. Set the timing selection switches (channel 1, channel 2) to the desired timing modes (see description above).
5. Replace the top cover and the cover screw.
6. Re-insert the IEEE C37.94 module. Take care to ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot
position. The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged posi-
tion as the module is smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis,
engage the clips simultaneously. When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.

3.3.9 C37.94SM INTERFACE

The UR-series C37.94SM communication modules (2A and 2B) are designed to interface with modified IEEE C37.94 com-
pliant digital multiplexers or IEEE C37.94 compliant interface converters that have been converted from 820 nm multi-mode
fiber optics to 1300 nm ELED single-mode fiber optics. The IEEE C37.94 standard defines a point-to-point optical link for
synchronous data between a multiplexer and a teleprotection device. This data is typically 64 kbps, but the standard pro-
vides for speeds up to 64n kbps, where n = 1, 2,, 12. The UR-series C37.94SM communication module is 64 kbps only
with n fixed at 1. The frame is a valid International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) recommended G.704 pattern from
the standpoint of framing and data rate. The frame is 256 bits and is repeated at a frame rate of 8000 Hz, with a resultant bit
rate of 2048 kbps.
The specifications for the module are as follows:
Emulated IEEE standard: emulates C37.94 for 1 64 kbps optical fiber interface (modules set to n = 1 or 64 kbps).
3 Fiber optic cable type: 9/125 m core diameter optical fiber.

Fiber optic cable length: up to 10 km.
Fiber optic connector: type ST.
Wavelength: 1300 40 nm.
Connection: as per all fiber optic connections, a Tx to Rx connection is required.
The UR-series C37.94SM communication module can be connected directly to any compliant digital multiplexer that sup-
ports C37.94SM as shown below.

It can also can be connected directly to any other UR-series relay with a C37.94SM module as shown below.

The UR-series C37.94SM communication module has six (6) switches that are used to set the clock configuration. The

For the looped timing mode, the system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, the timing selection
should be in loop timing mode for connections to higher order systems.
The C37.94SM communications module cover removal procedure is as follows:
1. Remove the C37.94SM module (modules 2A or 2B):
The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module, must be pulled simultaneously in order
to release the module for removal. Before performing this action, control power must be removed from the relay.
The original location of the module should be recorded to help ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted
into the correct slot.
2. Remove the module cover screw.
3. Remove the top cover by sliding it towards the rear and then lift it upwards.
4. Set the timing selection switches (channel 1, channel 2) to the desired timing modes (see description above).
5. Replace the top cover and the cover screw. 3
6. Re-insert the C37.94SM module. Take care to ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot
position. The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged posi-
tion as the module is smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis,
engage the clips simultaneously. When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.

The type 2S and 2T embedded managed switch modules are supported by UR-series relays containing type 9S CPU mod-
ules with revisions 5.5x and higher. The modules communicate to the D30 through an internal Ethernet port (referred to as
the UR port or port 7) and provide an additional six external Ethernet ports: two 10/100Base-T ports and four multimode ST
100Base-FX ports.
The Ethernet switch module should be powered up before or at the same time as the D30. Otherwise, the switch
module will not be detected on power up and the EQUIPMENT MISMATCH: ORDERCODE XXX self-test warning will be
NOTE issued.

3.4.2 MANAGED ETHERNET SWITCH MODULE HARDWARE

3 The type 2S and 2T managed Ethernet switch modules provide two 10/100Base-T and four multimode ST 100Base-FX
external Ethernet ports accessible through the rear of the module. In addition, a serial console port is accessible from the

3.4.4 CONFIGURING THE MANAGED ETHERNET SWITCH MODULE

A suitable IP/gateway and subnet mask must be assigned to both the switch and the UR relay for correct operation. The
Switch has been shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.2 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Consult your net-
work administrator to determine if the default IP address, subnet mask or default gateway needs to be modified.
Do not connect to network while configuring the switch module.

CAUTION

a) CONFIGURING THE SWITCH MODULE IP SETTINGS


In our example configuration of both the Switchs IP address and subnet mask must be changed to 3.94.247.229 and
255.255.252.0 respectively. The IP address, subnet mask and default gateway can be configured using either EnerVista
UR Setup software, the Switchs Secure Web Management (SWM), or through the console port using CLI.

4 HUMAN INTERFACES 4.1 ENERVISTA UR SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE

4 HUMAN INTERFACES 4.1ENERVISTA UR SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE 4.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The EnerVista UR Setup software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) as one of two human interfaces to a UR device.
The alternate human interface is implemented via the devices faceplate keypad and display (refer to the Faceplate inter-
face section in this chapter).
The EnerVista UR Setup software provides a single facility to configure, monitor, maintain, and trouble-shoot the operation
of relay functions, connected over local or wide area communication networks. It can be used while disconnected (off-line)
or connected (on-line) to a UR device. In off-line mode, settings files can be created for eventual downloading to the device.
In on-line mode, you can communicate with the device in real-time.
The EnerVista UR Setup software, provided with every D30 relay, can be run from any computer supporting Microsoft Win-
dows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, and XP. This chapter provides a summary of the basic EnerVista UR Setup software interface
features. The EnerVista UR Setup Help File provides details for getting started and using the EnerVista UR Setup software
interface.

4.1.2 CREATING A SITE LIST

To start using the EnerVista UR Setup software, a site definition and device definition must first be created. See the EnerV-
ista UR Setup Help File or refer to the Connecting EnerVista UR Setup with the D30 section in Chapter 1 for details.

4.1.3 ENERVISTA UR SETUP OVERVIEW


4
a) ENGAGING A DEVICE
The EnerVista UR Setup software may be used in on-line mode (relay connected) to directly communicate with the D30
relay. Communicating relays are organized and grouped by communication interfaces and into sites. Sites may contain any
number of relays selected from the UR-series of relays.

b) USING SETTINGS FILES


The EnerVista UR Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes to relay settings:
In off-line mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later download to communicating relays.
While connected to a communicating relay to directly modify any relay settings via relay data view windows, and then
save the settings to the relay.
You can create/edit settings files and then write them to the relay while the interface is connected to the relay.
Settings files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A settings file contains data pertaining to the
following types of relay settings:
Device definition
Product setup
System setup
FlexLogic
Grouped elements
Control elements
Inputs/outputs
Testing
Factory default values are supplied and can be restored after any changes.
The following communications settings are not transferred to the D30 with settings files.
Modbus Slave Address
Modbus IP Port Number

c) CREATING AND EDITING FLEXLOGIC


You can create or edit a FlexLogic equation in order to customize the relay. You can subsequently view the automatically
generated logic diagram.

4 d) VIEWING ACTUAL VALUES


You can view real-time relay data such as input/output status and measured parameters.

e) VIEWING TRIGGERED EVENTS


While the interface is in either on-line or off-line mode, you can view and analyze data generated by triggered specified
parameters, via one of the following:
Event Recorder facility: The event recorder captures contextual data associated with the last 1024 events, listed in
chronological order from most recent to oldest.
Oscillography facility: The oscillography waveform traces and digital states are used to provide a visual display of
power system and relay operation data captured during specific triggered events.

f) FILE SUPPORT
Execution: Any EnerVista UR Setup file which is double clicked or opened will launch the application, or provide focus
to the already opened application. If the file was a settings file (has a URS extension) which had been removed from
the Settings List tree menu, it will be added back to the Settings List tree menu.
Drag and Drop: The Site List and Settings List control bar windows are each mutually a drag source and a drop target
for device-order-code-compatible files or individual menu items. Also, the Settings List control bar window and any
Windows Explorer directory folder are each mutually a file drag source and drop target.
New files which are dropped into the Settings List window are added to the tree which is automatically sorted alphabet-
ically with respect to settings file names. Files or individual menu items which are dropped in the selected device menu
in the Site List window will automatically be sent to the on-line communicating device.

g) FIRMWARE UPGRADES
The firmware of a D30 device can be upgraded, locally or remotely, via the EnerVista UR Setup software. The correspond-
ing instructions are provided by the EnerVista UR Setup Help file under the topic Upgrading Firmware.
Modbus addresses assigned to firmware modules, features, settings, and corresponding data items (i.e. default
values, minimum/maximum values, data type, and item size) may change slightly from version to version of firm-
NOTE
ware. The addresses are rearranged when new features are added or existing features are enhanced or modified.
The EEPROM DATA ERROR message displayed after upgrading/downgrading the firmware is a resettable, self-test
message intended to inform users that the Modbus addresses have changed with the upgraded firmware. This
message does not signal any problems when appearing after firmware upgrades.

4.2 EXTENDED ENERVISTA UR SETUP FEATURES 4 HUMAN INTERFACES

4.2EXTENDED ENERVISTA UR SETUP FEATURES 4.2.1 SETTINGS TEMPLATES

Setting file templates simplify the configuration and commissioning of multiple relays that protect similar assets. An exam-
ple of this is a substation that has ten similar feeders protected by ten UR-series F60 relays.
In these situations, typically 90% or greater of the settings are identical between all devices. The templates feature allows
engineers to configure and test these common settings, then lock them so they are not available to users. For example,
these locked down settings can be hidden from view for field engineers, allowing them to quickly identify and concentrate
on the specific settings.
The remaining settings (typically 10% or less) can be specified as editable and be made available to field engineers install-
ing the devices. These will be settings such as protection element pickup values and CT and VT ratios.
The settings template mode allows the user to define which settings will be visible in EnerVista UR Setup. Settings tem-
plates can be applied to both settings files (settings file templates) and online devices (online settings templates). The func-
tionality is identical for both purposes.
The settings template feature requires that both the EnerVista UR Setup software and the D30 firmware are at ver-
sions 5.40 or higher.

The settings file and corresponding secure FlexLogic equations are now locked to the D30 device specified by the serial
number.

4.2.3 SETTINGS FILE TRACEABILITY

A traceability feature for settings files allows the user to quickly determine if the settings in a D30 device have been
changed since the time of installation from a settings file. When a settings file is transfered to a D30 device, the date, time,
and serial number of the D30 are sent back to EnerVista UR Setup and added to the settings file on the local PC. This infor-
mation can be compared with the D30 actual values at any later date to determine if security has been compromised.
The traceability information is only included in the settings file if a complete settings file is either transferred to the D30
device or obtained from the D30 device. Any partial settings transfers by way of drag and drop do not add the traceability
information to the settings file.

4.3.4 DISPLAY

All messages are displayed on a 2 20 backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) to make them visible under poor lighting condi-
4
tions. Messages are descriptive and should not require the aid of an instruction manual for deciphering. While the keypad
and display are not actively being used, the display will default to user-defined messages. Any high priority event driven
message will automatically override the default message and appear on the display.

4.3.5 KEYPAD

Display messages are organized into pages under the following headings: actual values, settings, commands, and targets.
The MENU key navigates through these pages. Each heading page is broken down further into logical subgroups.
The MESSAGE keys navigate through the subgroups. The VALUE keys scroll increment or decrement numerical setting
values when in programming mode. These keys also scroll through alphanumeric values in the text edit mode. Alterna-
tively, values may also be entered with the numeric keypad.
The decimal key initiates and advance to the next character in text edit mode or enters a decimal point. The HELP key may
be pressed at any time for context sensitive help messages. The ENTER key stores altered setting values.

4.3.6 BREAKER CONTROL

a) INTRODUCTION
The D30 can interface with associated circuit breakers. In many cases the application monitors the state of the breaker,
which can be presented on faceplate LEDs, along with a breaker trouble indication. Breaker operations can be manually
initiated from faceplate keypad or automatically initiated from a FlexLogic operand. A setting is provided to assign names
to each breaker; this user-assigned name is used for the display of related flash messages. These features are provided for
two breakers; the user may use only those portions of the design relevant to a single breaker, which must be breaker 1.
For the following discussion it is assumed the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP BREAKERS BREAKER 1(2) BREAKER
FUNCTION setting is "Enabled" for each breaker.

b) CONTROL MODE SELECTION AND MONITORING


Installations may require that a breaker is operated in the three-pole only mode (3-pole), or in the one and three-pole (1-
pole) mode, selected by setting. If the mode is selected as three-pole, a single input tracks the breaker open or closed posi-
tion. If the mode is selected as one-pole, all three breaker pole states must be input to the relay. These inputs must be in
agreement to indicate the position of the breaker.
For the following discussion it is assumed the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP BREAKERS BREAKER 1(2) BREAKER
1(2) PUSH BUTTON CONTROL setting is Enabled for each breaker.

4.3.8 CHANGING SETTINGS

a) ENTERING NUMERICAL DATA


Each numerical setting has its own minimum, maximum, and increment value associated with it. These parameters define
what values are acceptable for a setting.

FLASH MESSAGE For example, select the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES FLASH
TIME: 1.0 s MESSAGE TIME setting.

MINIMUM: 0.5 Press the HELP key to view the minimum and maximum values. Press the HELP key
MAXIMUM: 10.0 again to view the next context sensitive help message.

Two methods of editing and storing a numerical setting value are available.
0 to 9 and decimal point: The relay numeric keypad works the same as that of any electronic calculator. A number is
entered one digit at a time. The leftmost digit is entered first and the rightmost digit is entered last. Pressing the MES-
SAGE LEFT key or pressing the ESCAPE key, returns the original value to the display.
VALUE keys: The VALUE UP key increments the displayed value by the step value, up to the maximum value allowed.
4 While at the maximum value, pressing the VALUE UP key again will allow the setting selection to continue upward
from the minimum value. The VALUE DOWN key decrements the displayed value by the step value, down to the mini-
mum value. While at the minimum value, pressing the VALUE DOWN key again will allow the setting selection to con-
tinue downward from the maximum value.

FLASH MESSAGE As an example, set the flash message time setting to 2.5 seconds. Press the appropriate
TIME: 2.5 s numeric keys in the sequence 2 . 5". The display message will change as the digits are
being entered.
NEW SETTING Until ENTER is pressed, editing changes are not registered by the relay. Therefore, press
HAS BEEN STORED ENTER to store the new value in memory. This flash message will momentarily appear
as confirmation of the storing process. Numerical values which contain decimal places
will be rounded-off if more decimal place digits are entered than specified by the step
value.

b) ENTERING ENUMERATION DATA


Enumeration settings have data values which are part of a set, whose members are explicitly defined by a name. A set is
comprised of two or more members.

ACCESS LEVEL: For example, the selections available for ACCESS LEVEL are "Restricted", "Command",
Restricted "Setting", and "Factory Service".

Enumeration type values are changed using the VALUE keys. The VALUE UP key displays the next selection while the
VALUE DOWN key displays the previous selection.

ACCESS LEVEL: If the ACCESS LEVEL needs to be "Setting", press the VALUE keys until the proper selec-
Setting tion is displayed. Press HELP at any time for the context sensitive help messages.

NEW SETTING Changes are not registered by the relay until the ENTER key is pressed. Pressing
HAS BEEN STORED ENTER stores the new value in memory. This flash message momentarily appears as
confirmation of the storing process.

c) ENTERING ALPHANUMERIC TEXT


Text settings have data values which are fixed in length, but user-defined in character. They may be comprised of upper
case letters, lower case letters, numerals, and a selection of special characters.

5.1 OVERVIEW 5 SETTINGS

5.1.2 INTRODUCTION TO ELEMENTS

In the design of UR relays, the term element is used to describe a feature that is based around a comparator. The compar-
ator is provided with an input (or set of inputs) that is tested against a programmed setting (or group of settings) to deter-
mine if the input is within the defined range that will set the output to logic 1, also referred to as setting the flag. A single
comparator may make multiple tests and provide multiple outputs; for example, the time overcurrent comparator sets a
pickup flag when the current input is above the setting and sets an operate flag when the input current has been at a level
above the pickup setting for the time specified by the time-current curve settings. All comparators use analog parameter
actual values as the input.
The exception to the above rule are the digital elements, which use logic states as inputs.

NOTE

Elements are arranged into two classes, grouped and control. Each element classed as a grouped element is provided with
six alternate sets of settings, in setting groups numbered 1 through 6. The performance of a grouped element is defined by
the setting group that is active at a given time. The performance of a control element is independent of the selected active
setting group.
The main characteristics of an element are shown on the element logic diagram. This includes the inputs, settings, fixed
logic, and the output operands generated (abbreviations used on scheme logic diagrams are defined in Appendix F).
Some settings for current and voltage elements are specified in per-unit (pu) calculated quantities:
pu quantity = (actual quantity) / (base quantity)
For current elements, the base quantity is the nominal secondary or primary current of the CT.
Where the current source is the sum of two CTs with different ratios, the base quantity will be the common secondary or
5 primary current to which the sum is scaled (that is, normalized to the larger of the two rated CT inputs). For example, if CT1
= 300 / 5 A and CT2 = 100 / 5 A, then in order to sum these, CT2 is scaled to the CT1 ratio. In this case, the base quantity
will be 5 A secondary or 300 A primary.
For voltage elements the base quantity is the nominal primary voltage of the protected system which corresponds (based
on VT ratio and connection) to secondary VT voltage applied to the relay.
For example, on a system with a 13.8 kV nominal primary voltage and with 14400:120 V delta-connected VTs, the second-
ary nominal voltage (1 pu) would be:
13800
---------------- 120 = 115 V (EQ 5.1)
14400
For Wye-connected VTs, the secondary nominal voltage (1 pu) would be:
13800
---------------- 120
---------- = 66.4 V (EQ 5.2)
14400 3
Many settings are common to most elements and are discussed below:
FUNCTION setting: This setting programs the element to be operational when selected as Enabled. The factory
default is Disabled. Once programmed to Enabled, any element associated with the function becomes active and all
options become available.
NAME setting: This setting is used to uniquely identify the element.
SOURCE setting: This setting is used to select the parameter or set of parameters to be monitored.
PICKUP setting: For simple elements, this setting is used to program the level of the measured parameter above or
below which the pickup state is established. In more complex elements, a set of settings may be provided to define the
range of the measured parameters which will cause the element to pickup.
PICKUP DELAY setting: This setting sets a time-delay-on-pickup, or on-delay, for the duration between the pickup
and operate output states.
RESET DELAY setting: This setting is used to set a time-delay-on-dropout, or off-delay, for the duration between the
Operate output state and the return to logic 0 after the input transits outside the defined pickup range.

5-4 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.1 OVERVIEW

BLOCK setting: The default output operand state of all comparators is a logic 0 or flag not set. The comparator
remains in this default state until a logic 1 is asserted at the RUN input, allowing the test to be performed. If the RUN
input changes to logic 0 at any time, the comparator returns to the default state. The RUN input is used to supervise
the comparator. The BLOCK input is used as one of the inputs to RUN control.
TARGET setting: This setting is used to define the operation of an element target message. When set to Disabled, no
target message or illumination of a faceplate LED indicator is issued upon operation of the element. When set to Self-
Reset, the target message and LED indication follow the Operate state of the element, and self-resets once the oper-
ate element condition clears. When set to Latched, the target message and LED indication will remain visible after the
element output returns to logic 0 - until a RESET command is received by the relay.
EVENTS setting: This setting is used to control whether the Pickup, Dropout or Operate states are recorded by the
event recorder. When set to Disabled, element pickup, dropout or operate are not recorded as events. When set to
Enabled, events are created for:
(Element) PKP (pickup)
(Element) DPO (dropout)
(Element) OP (operate)
The DPO event is created when the measure and decide comparator output transits from the pickup state (logic 1) to
the dropout state (logic 0). This could happen when the element is in the operate state if the reset delay time is not 0.

5.1.3 INTRODUCTION TO AC SOURCES

a) BACKGROUND
The D30 may be used on systems with breaker-and-a-half or ring bus configurations. In these applications, each of the two
three-phase sets of individual phase currents (one associated with each breaker) can be used as an input to a breaker fail-
ure element. The sum of both breaker phase currents and 3I_0 residual currents may be required for the circuit relaying
and metering functions. For a three-winding transformer application, it may be required to calculate watts and vars for each 5
of three windings, using voltage from different sets of VTs. These requirements can be satisfied with a single UR, equipped
with sufficient CT and VT input channels, by selecting the parameter to measure. A mechanism is provided to specify the
AC parameter (or group of parameters) used as the input to protection/control comparators and some metering elements.
Selection of the parameter(s) to measure is partially performed by the design of a measuring element or protection/control
comparator by identifying the type of parameter (fundamental frequency phasor, harmonic phasor, symmetrical component,
total waveform RMS magnitude, phase-phase or phase-ground voltage, etc.) to measure. The user completes the process
by selecting the instrument transformer input channels to use and some of the parameters calculated from these channels.
The input parameters available include the summation of currents from multiple input channels. For the summed currents of
phase, 3I_0, and ground current, current from CTs with different ratios are adjusted to a single ratio before summation.
A mechanism called a Source configures the routing of CT and VT input channels to measurement sub-systems.
Sources, in the context of UR series relays, refer to the logical grouping of current and voltage signals such that one source
contains all the signals required to measure the load or fault in a particular power apparatus. A given source may contain all
or some of the following signals: three-phase currents, single-phase ground current, three-phase voltages and an auxiliary
voltage from a single VT for checking for synchronism.
To illustrate the concept of Sources, as applied to current inputs only, consider the breaker-and-a-half scheme below. In this
application, the current flows as shown by the arrows. Some current flows through the upper bus bar to some other location
or power equipment, and some current flows into transformer Winding 1. The current into Winding 1 is the phasor sum (or
difference) of the currents in CT1 and CT2 (whether the sum or difference is used depends on the relative polarity of the CT
connections). The same considerations apply to transformer Winding 2. The protection elements require access to the net
current for transformer protection, but some elements may need access to the individual currents from CT1 and CT2.

Figure 51: BREAKER-AND-A-HALF SCHEME


In conventional analog or electronic relays, the sum of the currents is obtained from an appropriate external connection of
all CTs through which any portion of the current for the element being protected could flow. Auxiliary CTs are required to
perform ratio matching if the ratios of the primary CTs to be summed are not identical. In the UR series of relays, provisions
have been included for all the current signals to be brought to the UR device where grouping, ratio correction and summa-
tion are applied internally via configuration settings.
A major advantage of using internal summation is that the individual currents are available to the protection device; for
example, as additional information to calculate a restraint current, or to allow the provision of additional protection features
5 that operate on the individual currents such as breaker failure.
Given the flexibility of this approach, it becomes necessary to add configuration settings to the platform to allow the user to
select which sets of CT inputs will be added to form the net current into the protected device.
The internal grouping of current and voltage signals forms an internal source. This source can be given a specific name
through the settings, and becomes available to protection and metering elements in the UR platform. Individual names can
be given to each source to help identify them more clearly for later use. For example, in the scheme shown in the above
diagram, the configures one Source to be the sum of CT1 and CT2 and can name this Source as Wdg 1 Current.
Once the sources have been configured, the user has them available as selections for the choice of input signal for the pro-
tection elements and as metered quantities.

b) CT/VT MODULE CONFIGURATION


CT and VT input channels are contained in CT/VT modules. The type of input channel can be phase/neutral/other voltage,
phase/ground current, or sensitive ground current. The CT/VT modules calculate total waveform RMS levels, fundamental
frequency phasors, symmetrical components and harmonics for voltage or current, as allowed by the hardware in each
channel. These modules may calculate other parameters as directed by the CPU module.
A CT/VT module contains up to eight input channels, numbered 1 through 8. The channel numbering corresponds to the
module terminal numbering 1 through 8 and is arranged as follows: Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 are always provided as a group,
hereafter called a bank, and all four are either current or voltage, as are channels 5, 6, 7 and 8. Channels 1, 2, 3 and 5, 6,
7 are arranged as phase A, B and C respectively. Channels 4 and 8 are either another current or voltage.
Banks are ordered sequentially from the block of lower-numbered channels to the block of higher-numbered channels, and
from the CT/VT module with the lowest slot position letter to the module with the highest slot position letter, as follows:
INCREASING SLOT POSITION LETTER -->
CT/VT MODULE 1 CT/VT MODULE 2 CT/VT MODULE 3
< bank 1 > < bank 3 > < bank 5 >
< bank 2 > < bank 4 > < bank 6 >

5-6 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.1 OVERVIEW

The UR platform allows for a maximum of three sets of three-phase voltages and six sets of three-phase currents. The
result of these restrictions leads to the maximum number of CT/VT modules in a chassis to three. The maximum number of
sources is six. A summary of CT/VT module configurations is shown below.
ITEM MAXIMUM NUMBER
CT/VT Module 1
CT Bank (3 phase channels, 1 ground channel) 2
VT Bank (3 phase channels, 1 auxiliary channel) 1

c) CT/VT INPUT CHANNEL CONFIGURATION


Upon relay startup, configuration settings for every bank of current or voltage input channels in the relay are automatically
generated from the order code. Within each bank, a channel identification label is automatically assigned to each bank of
channels in a given product. The bank naming convention is based on the physical location of the channels, required by
the user to know how to connect the relay to external circuits. Bank identification consists of the letter designation of the slot
in which the CT/VT module is mounted as the first character, followed by numbers indicating the channel, either 1 or 5.
For three-phase channel sets, the number of the lowest numbered channel identifies the set. For example, F1 represents
the three-phase channel set of F1/F2/F3, where F is the slot letter and 1 is the first channel of the set of three channels.
Upon startup, the CPU configures the settings required to characterize the current and voltage inputs, and will display them
in the appropriate section in the sequence of the banks (as described above) as follows for a maximum configuration: F1,
F5, M1, M5, U1, and U5.
The above section explains how the input channels are identified and configured to the specific application instrument
transformers and the connections of these transformers. The specific parameters to be used by each measuring element
and comparator, and some actual values are controlled by selecting a specific source. The source is a group of current and
voltage input channels selected by the user to facilitate this selection. With this mechanism, a user does not have to make
multiple selections of voltage and current for those elements that need both parameters, such as a distance element or a 5
watt calculation. It also gathers associated parameters for display purposes.
The basic idea of arranging a source is to select a point on the power system where information is of interest. An applica-
tion example of the grouping of parameters in a source is a transformer winding, on which a three phase voltage is mea-
sured, and the sum of the currents from CTs on each of two breakers is required to measure the winding current flow.

INVALID ATTEMPTS BEFORE LOCKOUT: This setting specifies the number of times an incorrect password can be
entered within a three-minute time span before lockout occurs. When lockout occurs, the LOCAL ACCESS DENIED and
REMOTE ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic operands are set to On. These operands are returned to the Off state upon
expiration of the lockout.
PASSWORD LOCKOUT DURATION: This setting specifies the time that the D30 will lockout password access after
the number of invalid password entries specified by the INVALID ATTEMPS BEFORE LOCKOUT setting has occurred.
The D30 provides a means to raise an alarm upon failed password entry. Should password verification fail while accessing
a password-protected level of the relay (either settings or commands), the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS FlexLogic operand is
asserted. The operand can be programmed to raise an alarm via contact outputs or communications. This feature can be
used to protect against both unauthorized and accidental access attempts.
The UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS operand is reset with the COMMANDS CLEAR RECORDS RESET UNAUTHORIZED
ALARMS command. Therefore, to apply this feature with security, the command level should be password-protected. The
operand does not generate events or targets.
If events or targets are required, the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS operand can be assigned to a digital element programmed
with event logs or targets enabled.

Valid values for the FlexLogic operands are either On (default) or any physical Contact Input ~~ On value.
If this setting is On, then local setting access functions as normal; that is, a local setting password is required. If this
setting is any contact input on FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to providing
the local setting password to gain setting access.
If setting access is not authorized for local operation (front panel or RS232 interface) and the user attempts to obtain
setting access, then the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS message is displayed on the front panel.
REMOTE SETTING AUTH: This setting is used for remote (Ethernet or RS485 interfaces) setting access supervision.

provided. If this setting is any other FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to pro-
viding the remote setting password to gain setting access.
ACCESS AUTH TIMEOUT: This setting represents the timeout delay for local setting access. This setting is applicable
when the LOCAL SETTING AUTH setting is programmed to any operand except On. The state of the FlexLogic oper-
and is continuously monitored for an off-to-on transition. When this occurs, local access is permitted and the timer pro-

Some relay messaging characteristics can be modified to suit different situations using the display properties settings.
LANGUAGE: This setting selects the language used to display settings, actual values, and targets. The range is
dependent on the order code of the relay.
FLASH MESSAGE TIME: Flash messages are status, warning, error, or information messages displayed for several
seconds in response to certain key presses during setting programming. These messages override any normal mes-
sages. The duration of a flash message on the display can be changed to accommodate different reading rates.
DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT: If the keypad is inactive for a period of time, the relay automatically reverts to a
default message. The inactivity time is modified via this setting to ensure messages remain on the screen long enough
during programming or reading of actual values.
DEFAULT MESSAGE INTENSITY: To extend phosphor life in the vacuum fluorescent display, the brightness can be
attenuated during default message display. During keypad interrogation, the display always operates at full brightness.
SCREEN SAVER FEATURE and SCREEN SAVER WAIT TIME: These settings are only visible if the D30 has a liquid
crystal display (LCD) and control its backlighting. When the SCREEN SAVER FEATURE is Enabled, the LCD backlighting
is turned off after the DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT followed by the SCREEN SAVER WAIT TIME, providing that no keys
have been pressed and no target messages are active. When a keypress occurs or a target becomes active, the LCD
backlighting is turned on.
CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL: This setting modifies the current cut-off threshold. Very low currents (1 to 2% of the
rated value) are very susceptible to noise. Some customers prefer very low currents to display as zero, while others
prefer the current be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual signal. The D30 applies a cut-
off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured currents. If the magnitude is below the cut-off level, it is substi-
tuted with zero. This applies to phase and ground current phasors as well as true RMS values and symmetrical compo-
nents. The cut-off operation applies to quantities used for metering, protection, and control, as well as those used by
communications protocols. Note that the cut-off level for the sensitive ground input is 10 times lower that the CURRENT
CUT-OFF LEVEL setting value. Raw current samples available via oscillography are not subject to cut-off. 5
VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL: This setting modifies the voltage cut-off threshold. Very low secondary voltage measure-
ments (at the fractional volt level) can be affected by noise. Some customers prefer these low voltages to be displayed
as zero, while others prefer the voltage to be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual sig-
nal. The D30 applies a cut-off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured voltages. If the magnitude is below
the cut-off level, it is substituted with zero. This operation applies to phase and auxiliary voltages, and symmetrical
components. The cut-off operation applies to quantities used for metering, protection, and control, as well as those
used by communications protocols. Raw samples of the voltages available via oscillography are not subject cut-off.
The CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL and the VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL are used to determine the metered power cut-off levels. The
power cut-off level is calculated as shown below. For Delta connections:

PHASE VT SECONDARY: 66.4 V
PHASE VT RATIO: 208.00 : 1"

We have:
CT primary = 100 A, and
VT primary = PHASE VT SECONDARY x PHASE VT RATIO = 66.4 V x 208 = 13811.2 V
The power cut-off is therefore:
power cut-off = (CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL CT primary VT primary)/VT secondary
= ( 3 0.02 pu 1.0 V 100 A 13811.2 V) / 66.4 V

Any calculated power value below this cut-off will not be displayed.
Lower the VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL and CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL with care as the relay accepts lower signals
as valid measurements. Unless dictated otherwise by a specific application, the default settings of 0.02

Selected records can be cleared from user-programmable conditions with FlexLogic operands. Assigning user-program-
mable pushbuttons to clear specific records are typical applications for these commands. Since the D30 responds to rising
edges of the configured FlexLogic operands, they must be asserted for at least 50 ms to take effect.
Clearing records with user-programmable operands is not protected by the command password. However, user-program- 5
mable pushbuttons are protected by the command password. Thus, if they are used to clear records, the user-programma-
ble pushbuttons can provide extra security if required.
For example, to assign User-Programmable Pushbutton 1 to clear demand records, the following settings should be
applied.

The D30 is equipped with up to three independent serial communication ports. The faceplate RS232 port is intended for
local use and is fixed at 19200 baud and no parity. The rear COM1 port type is selected when ordering: either an Ethernet
or RS485 port. The rear COM2 port is RS485. The RS485 ports have settings for baud rate and parity. It is important that
these parameters agree with the settings used on the computer or other equipment that is connected to these ports. Any of

files, view measured parameters, and upgrade the relay firmware. A maximum of 32 relays can be daisy-chained and con-
nected to a DCS, PLC or PC using the RS485 ports.
For each RS485 port, the minimum time before the port will transmit after receiving data from a host can be

NSAP address is used with the IEC 61850 protocol over the OSI (CLNP/TP4) stack only. Each network protocol has a set- 5
ting for the TCP/UDP port number. These settings are used only in advanced network configurations and should normally
be left at their default values, but may be changed if required (for example, to allow access to multiple UR-series relays
behind a router). By setting a different TCP/UDP PORT NUMBER for a given protocol on each UR-series relay, the router can
map the relays to the same external IP address. The client software (EnerVista UR Setup, for example) must be configured
to use the correct port number if these settings are used.
When the NSAP address, any TCP/UDP port number, or any user map setting (when used with DNP) is changed, it
will not become active until power to the relay has been cycled (off-on).
NOTE
Do not set more than one protocol to the same TCP/UDP PORT NUMBER, as this will result in unreliable opera-

The serial communication ports utilize the Modbus protocol, unless configured for DNP or IEC 60870-5-104 operation (see
descriptions below). This allows the EnerVista UR Setup software to be used. The UR operates as a Modbus slave device
only. When using Modbus protocol on the RS232 port, the D30 will respond regardless of the MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS pro-
grammed. For the RS485 ports each D30 must have a unique address from 1 to 254. Address 0 is the broadcast address
which all Modbus slave devices listen to. Addresses do not have to be sequential, but no two devices can have the same
address or conflicts resulting in errors will occur. Generally, each device added to the link should use the next higher
address starting at 1. Refer to Appendix B for more information on the Modbus protocol.
Changes to the MODBUS TCP PORT NUMBER setting will not take effect until the D30 is restarted.

The D30 supports the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) version 3.0. The D30 can be used as a DNP slave device con-
nected to multiple DNP masters (usually an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the D30 maintains two sets of DNP
data change buffers and connection information, two DNP masters can actively communicate with the D30 at one time.
The IEC 60870-5-104 and DNP protocols cannot be simultaneously. When the IEC 60870-5-104 FUNCTION set-
ting is set to Enabled, the DNP protocol will not be operational. When this setting is changed it will not
NOTE
become active until power to the relay has been cycled (off-to-on).

The DNP CHANNEL 1 PORT and DNP CHANNEL 2 PORT settings select the communications port assigned to the DNP protocol
for each channel. Once DNP is assigned to a serial port, the Modbus protocol is disabled on that port. Note that COM1 can
be used only in non-Ethernet UR relays. When this setting is set to Network - TCP, the DNP protocol can be used over
TCP/IP on channels 1 or 2. When this value is set to Network - UDP, the DNP protocol can be used over UDP/IP on chan-
nel 1 only. Refer to Appendix E for additional information on the DNP protocol.
Changes to the DNP CHANNEL 1 PORT and DNP CHANNEL 2 PORT settings will take effect only after power has
been cycled to the relay.

The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE FUNCTION should be Disabled for RS485 applications since there is no collision avoidance
mechanism. The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE TIMEOUT sets the time the D30 waits for a DNP master to confirm an unsolicited
response. The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE MAX RETRIES setting determines the number of times the D30 retransmits an unsolic-
ited response without receiving confirmation from the master; a value of 255 allows infinite re-tries. The DNP UNSOL
RESPONSE DEST ADDRESS is the DNP address to which all unsolicited responses are sent. The IP address to which unsolic-
ited responses are sent is determined by the D30 from the current TCP connection or the most recent UDP message.
The DNP scale factor settings are numbers used to scale analog input point values. These settings group the D30 analog
input data into the following types: current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and other. Each setting represents the
scale factor for all analog input points of that type. For example, if the DNP VOLTAGE SCALE FACTOR setting is set to 1000,
all DNP analog input points that are voltages will be returned with values 1000 times smaller (for example, a value of 72000
5 V on the D30 will be returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within cer-
tain ranges in DNP masters. Note that a scale factor of 0.1 is equivalent to a multiplier of 10 (that is, the value will be 10
times larger).
The DNP DEFAULT DEADBAND settings determine when to trigger unsolicited responses containing analog input data. These
settings group the D30 analog input data into the following types: current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and other.
Each setting represents the default deadband value for all analog input points of that type. For example, to trigger unsolic-
ited responses from the D30 when any current values change by 15 A, the DNP CURRENT DEFAULT DEADBAND setting
should be set to 15. Note that these settings are the deadband default values. DNP object 34 points can be used to
change deadband values, from the default, for each individual DNP analog input point. Whenever power is removed and
re-applied to the D30, the default deadbands will be in effect.
The D30 relay does not support energy metering. As such, the DNP ENERGY SCALE FACTOR and DNP ENERGY
DEFAULT DEADBAND settings are not applicable.
NOTE

The DNP TIME SYNC IIN PERIOD setting determines how often the Need Time Internal Indication (IIN) bit is set by the D30.
Changing this time allows the DNP master to send time synchronization commands more or less often, as required.
The DNP MESSAGE FRAGMENT SIZE setting determines the size, in bytes, at which message fragmentation occurs. Large
fragment sizes allow for more efficient throughput; smaller fragment sizes cause more application layer confirmations to be
necessary which can provide for more robust data transfer over noisy communication channels.
When the DNP data points (analog inputs and/or binary inputs) are configured for Ethernet-enabled relays,
check the DNP Points Lists D30 web page to view the points lists. This page can be viewed with a web
NOTE
browser by entering the D30 IP address to access the D30 Main Menu, then by selecting the Device
Information Menu > DNP Points Lists menu item.
The DNP OBJECT 1 DEFAULT VARIATION to DNP OBJECT 32 DEFAULT VARIATION settings allow the user to select the DNP
default variation number for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32. The default variation refers to the variation
response when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. Refer to the DNP implementation section in
appendix E for additional details.
The DNP binary outputs typically map one-to-one to IED data points. That is, each DNP binary output controls a single
physical or virtual control point in an IED. In the D30 relay, DNP binary outputs are mapped to virtual inputs. However, some
legacy DNP implementations use a mapping of one DNP binary output to two physical or virtual control points to support
the concept of trip/close (for circuit breakers) or raise/lower (for tap changers) using a single control point. That is, the DNP

5-20 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.2 PRODUCT SETUP

master can operate a single point for both trip and close, or raise and lower, operations. The D30 can be configured to sup-
port paired control points, with each paired control point operating two virtual inputs. The DNP NUMBER OF PAIRED CONTROL
POINTS setting allows configuration of from 0 to 32 binary output paired controls. Points not configured as paired operate on
a one-to-one basis.
The DNP ADDRESS setting is the DNP slave address. This number identifies the D30 on a DNP communications link. Each
DNP slave should be assigned a unique address.
The DNP TCP CONNECTION TIMEOUT setting specifies a time delay for the detection of dead network TCP connections. If
there is no data traffic on a DNP TCP connection for greater than the time specified by this setting, the connection will be
aborted by the D30. This frees up the connection to be re-used by a client.
Relay power must be re-cycled after changing the DNP TCP CONNECTION TIMEOUT setting for the changes to take
effect.

The DEFAULT GSSE/GOOSE UPDATE TIME sets the time between GSSE or GOOSE messages when there are no remote out-
put state changes to be sent. When remote output data changes, GSSE or GOOSE messages are sent immediately. This
setting controls the steady-state heartbeat time interval.
The DEFAULT GSSE/GOOSE UPDATE TIME setting is applicable to GSSE, fixed D30 GOOSE, and configurable GOOSE.

These settings are applicable to fixed (DNA/UserSt) GOOSE only.


The GOOSE ID setting represents the IEC 61850 GOOSE application ID (GoID) name string sent as part of each GOOSE
message. This string identifies the GOOSE message to the receiving device. In revisions previous to 5.0x, this name string
was represented by the RELAY NAME setting.
The DESTINATION MAC setting allows the destination Ethernet MAC address to be set. This address must be a multicast
address; the least significant bit of the first byte must be set. In D30 releases previous to 5.0x, the destination Ethernet
MAC address was determined automatically by taking the sending MAC address (that is, the unique, local MAC address of
the D30) and setting the multicast bit.
The GOOSE VLAN PRIORITY setting indicates the Ethernet priority of GOOSE messages. This allows GOOSE messages to
have higher priority than other Ethernet data. The GOOSE ETYPE APPID setting allows the selection of a specific application
ID for each GOOSE sending device. This value can be left at its default if the feature is not required. Both the GOOSE VLAN
PRIORITY and GOOSE ETYPE APPID settings are required by IEC 61850.

DATASET ITEMS

The configurable GOOSE settings allow the D30 to be configured to transmit a number of different datasets within IEC
61850 GOOSE messages. Up to eight different configurable datasets can be configured and transmitted. This is useful for
intercommunication between D30 IEDs and devices from other manufacturers that support IEC 61850.
The configurable GOOSE feature allows for the configuration of the datasets to be transmitted or received from the D30.
The D30 supports the configuration of eight (8) transmission and reception datasets, allowing for the optimization of data
transfer between devices.
Items programmed for dataset 1 and 2 will have changes in their status transmitted as soon as the change is detected.
Datasets 1 and 2 should be used for high-speed transmission of data that is required for applications such as transfer trip-
ping, blocking, and breaker fail initiate. At least one digital status value needs to be configured in the required dataset to
enable transmission of configured data. Configuring analog data only to dataset 1 or 2 will not activate transmission.
Items programmed for datasets 3 through 8 will have changes in their status transmitted at a maximum rate of every
100 ms. Datasets 3 through 8 will regularly analyze each data item configured within them every 100 ms to identify if any
changes have been made. If any changes in the data items are detected, these changes will be transmitted through a
GOOSE message. If there are no changes detected during this 100 ms period, no GOOSE message will be sent.
For all datasets 1 through 8, the integrity GOOSE message will still continue to be sent at the pre-configured rate even if no
changes in the data items are detected.

5-24 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.2 PRODUCT SETUP

The GOOSE functionality was enhanced to prevent the relay from flooding a communications network with GOOSE mes-
sages due to an oscillation being created that is triggering a message.
The D30 has the ability of detecting if a data item in one of the GOOSE datasets is erroneously oscillating. This can be
caused by events such as errors in logic programming, inputs improperly being asserted and de-asserted, or failed station
components. If erroneously oscillation is detected, the D30 will stop sending GOOSE messages from the dataset for a min-
imum period of one second. Should the oscillation persist after the one second time-out period, the D30 will continue to
block transmission of the dataset. The D30 will assert the MAINTENANCE ALERT: GGIO Ind XXX oscill self-test error mes-
sage on the front panel display, where XXX denotes the data item detected as oscillating.
For versions 5.70 and higher, the D30 supports four retransmission schemes: aggressive, medium, relaxed, and heartbeat.
The aggressive scheme is only supported in fast type 1A GOOSE messages (GOOSEOut 1 and GOOSEOut 2). For slow
GOOSE messages (GOOSEOut 3 to GOOSEOut 8) the aggressive scheme is the same as the medium scheme.
The details about each scheme are shown in the following table.

The configurable GOOSE feature is recommended for applications that require GOOSE data transfer between UR-series
IEDs and devices from other manufacturers. Fixed GOOSE is recommended for applications that require GOOSE data
transfer between UR-series IEDs.
IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging contains a number of configurable parameters, all of which must be correct to achieve the
successful transfer of data. It is critical that the configured datasets at the transmission and reception devices are an exact
match in terms of data structure, and that the GOOSE addresses and name strings match exactly. Manual configuration is
possible, but third-party substation configuration software may be used to automate the process. The EnerVista UR Setup
software can produce IEC 61850 ICD files and import IEC 61850 SCD files produced by a substation configurator (refer to
the IEC 61850 IED configuration section later in this appendix).
The following example illustrates the configuration required to transfer IEC 61850 data items between two devices. The
general steps required for transmission configuration are:

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 5-25


5.2 PRODUCT SETUP 5 SETTINGS

1. Configure the transmission dataset.


2. Configure the GOOSE service settings.
3. Configure the data.
The general steps required for reception configuration are:
1. Configure the reception dataset.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings.
3. Configure the data.
This example shows how to configure the transmission and reception of three IEC 61850 data items: a single point status
value, its associated quality flags, and a floating point analog value.
The following procedure illustrates the transmission configuration.
1. Configure the transmission dataset by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATION
IEC 61850 PROTOCOL GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION TRANSMISSION CONFIGURABLE GOOSE CONFIGURABLE
GOOSE 1 CONFIG GSE 1 DATASET ITEMS settings menu:

Set ITEM 1 to GGIO1.ST.Ind1.q to indicate quality flags for GGIO1 status indication 1.
Set ITEM 2 to GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal to indicate the status value for GGIO1 status indication 1.
The transmission dataset now contains a set of quality flags and a single point status Boolean value. The reception
dataset on the receiving device must exactly match this structure.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATION
IEC 61850 PROTOCOL GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION TRANSMISSION CONFIGURABLE GOOSE CONFIGU-
RABLE GOOSE 1 settings menu:
5 Set CONFIG GSE 1 FUNCTION to Enabled.
Set CONFIG GSE 1 ID to an appropriate descriptive string (the default value is GOOSEOut_1).
Set CONFIG GSE 1 DST MAC to a multicast address (for example, 01 00 00 12 34 56).
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 VLAN PRIORITY; the default value of 4 is OK for this example.
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 VLAN ID value; the default value is 0, but some switches may require this value to be 1.
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 ETYPE APPID value. This setting represents the ETHERTYPE application ID and must match
the configuration on the receiver (the default value is 0).
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 CONFREV value. This value changes automatically as described in IEC 61850 part 7-2. For
this example it can be left at its default value.
3. Configure the data by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATION IEC 61850 PROTO-
COL GGIO1 STATUS CONFIGURATION settings menu:
Set GGIO1 INDICATION 1 to a FlexLogic operand used to provide the status of GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal (for example,
a contact input, virtual input, a protection element status, etc.).
The D30 must be rebooted (control power removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect.
The following procedure illustrates the reception configuration.
1. Configure the reception dataset by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATION IEC
61850 PROTOCOL GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION RECEPTION CONFIGURABLE GOOSE CONFIGURABLE GOOSE

The reception dataset now contains a set of quality flags, a single point status Boolean value, and a floating point ana-
log value. This matches the transmission dataset configuration above.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings by making the following changes in the INPUTS/OUTPUTS REMOTE DEVICES
REMOTE DEVICE 1 settings menu:
Set REMOTE DEVICE 1 ID to match the GOOSE ID string for the transmitting device. Enter GOOSEOut_1.

5-26 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.2 PRODUCT SETUP

Set REMOTE DEVICE 1 ETYPE APPID to match the ETHERTYPE application ID from the transmitting device. This is
0 in the example above.
Set the REMOTE DEVICE 1 DATASET value. This value represents the dataset number in use. Since we are using
configurable GOOSE 1 in this example, program this value as GOOSEIn 1.
3. Configure the data by making the following changes in the INPUTS/OUTPUTS REMOTE INPUTS REMOTE INPUT 1
settings menu:
Set REMOTE IN 1 DEVICE to GOOSEOut_1.
Set REMOTE IN 1 ITEM to Dataset Item 2. This assigns the value of the GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal single point status
item to remote input 1.
Remote input 1 can now be used in FlexLogic equations or other settings. The D30 must be rebooted (control power
removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect.
The value of remote input 1 (Boolean on or off) in the receiving device will be determined by the GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal value
in the sending device. The above settings will be automatically populated by the EnerVista UR Setup software when a com-
plete SCD file is created by third party substation configurator software.
For intercommunication between D30 IEDs, the fixed (DNA/UserSt) dataset can be used. The DNA/UserSt dataset con-
tains the same DNA and UserSt bit pairs that are included in GSSE messages. All GOOSE messages transmitted by the
D30 (DNA/UserSt dataset and configurable datasets) use the IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging services (for example, VLAN
support).
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 FUNCTION function to Disabled when configuration changes are required. Once changes are
entered, return the CONFIG GSE 1 FUNCTION to Enabled and restart the unit for changes to take effect.

To create a configurable GOOSE dataset that contains an IEC 61850 Single Point Status indication and its associated qual-
ity flags, the following dataset items can be selected: GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal and GGIO1.ST.Ind1.q. The D30 will then cre-
ate a dataset containing these two data items. The status value for GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal is determined by the FlexLogic
operand assigned to GGIO1 indication 1. Changes to this operand will result in the transmission of GOOSE messages con-
taining the defined dataset.
The main reception menu is applicable to configurable GOOSE only and contains the configurable GOOSE dataset items
for reception:

The configurable GOOSE settings allow the D30 to be configured to receive a number of different datasets within IEC
61850 GOOSE messages. Up to eight different configurable datasets can be configured for reception. This is useful for
intercommunication between D30 IEDs and devices from other manufacturers that support IEC 61850.
For intercommunication between D30 IEDs, the fixed (DNA/UserSt) dataset can be used. The DNA/UserSt dataset con-
tains the same DNA and UserSt bit pairs that are included in GSSE messages.
To set up a D30 to receive a configurable GOOSE dataset that contains two IEC 61850 single point status indications, the
following dataset items can be selected (for example, for configurable GOOSE dataset 1): GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal and
GGIO3.ST.Ind2.stVal. The D30 will then create a dataset containing these two data items. The Boolean status values from
these data items can be utilized as remote input FlexLogic operands. First, the REMOTE DEVICE 1(16) DATASET setting
must be set to contain dataset GOOSEIn 1 (that is, the first configurable dataset). Then REMOTE IN 1(16) ITEM settings
must be set to Dataset Item 1 and Dataset Item 2. These remote input FlexLogic operands will then change state in
accordance with the status values of the data items in the configured dataset.
Floating point analog values originating from MMXU logical nodes may be included in GOOSE datasets. Deadband (non-
instantaneous) values can be transmitted. Received values are used to populate the GGIO3.XM.AnIn1 and higher items.
Received values are also available as FlexAnalog parameters (GOOSE analog In1 and up).

The IED NAME and LD INST settings represent the MMS domain name (IEC 61850 logical device) where all IEC/MMS logical
nodes are located. Valid characters for these values are upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and the underscore (_)
character, and the first character in the string must be a letter. This conforms to the IEC 61850 standard. The LOCATION is a
variable string and can be composed of ASCII characters. This string appears within the PhyName of the LPHD node.
The IEC/MMS TCP PORT NUMBER setting allows the user to change the TCP port number for MMS connections. The INCLUDE
NON-IEC DATA setting determines whether or not the UR MMS domain will be available. This domain contains a large num-
5 ber of UR-series specific data items that are not available in the IEC 61850 logical nodes. This data does not follow the IEC
61850 naming conventions. For communications schemes that strictly follow the IEC 61850 standard, this setting should be
Disabled.
The SERVER SCANNING feature should be set to Disabled when IEC 61850 client/server functionality is not required. IEC
61850 has two modes of functionality: GOOSE/GSSE inter-device communication and client/server communication. If the
GOOSE/GSSE functionality is required without the IEC 61850 client server feature, then server scanning can be disabled
to increase CPU resources. When server scanning is disabled, there will be not updated to the IEC 61850 logical node sta-
tus values in the D30. Clients will still be able to connect to the server (D30 relay), but most data values will not be updated.
This setting does not affect GOOSE/GSSE operation.
Changes to the IED NAME setting, LD INST setting, and GOOSE dataset will not take effect until the D30 is restarted.

The CLEAR XSWI1 OpCnt setting represents the disconnect switch operating counter. As disconnect switches operate by
opening and closing, the XSWI operating counter status attribute (OpCnt) increments with every operation. Frequent switch
operation may result in very large OpCnt values over time. This setting allows the OpCnt to be reset to 0 for XSWI1.
Since GSSE/GOOSE messages are multicast Ethernet by specification, they will not usually be forwarded by net-
work routers. However, GOOSE messages may be fowarded by routers if the router has been configured for VLAN

The D30 supports the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. The D30 can be used as an IEC 60870-5-104 slave device connected to
a maximum of two masters (usually either an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the D30 maintains two sets of IEC
60870-5-104 data change buffers, no more than two masters should actively communicate with the D30 at one time.
The IEC ------- DEFAULT THRESHOLD settings are used to determine when to trigger spontaneous responses containing
M_ME_NC_1 analog data. These settings group the D30 analog data into types: current, voltage, power, energy, and other.
Each setting represents the default threshold value for all M_ME_NC_1 analog points of that type. For example, to trigger
spontaneous responses from the D30 when any current values change by 15 A, the IEC CURRENT DEFAULT THRESHOLD set-
ting should be set to 15. Note that these settings are the default values of the deadbands. P_ME_NC_1 (parameter of mea-
sured value, short floating point value) points can be used to change threshold values, from the default, for each individual
M_ME_NC_1 analog point. Whenever power is removed and re-applied to the D30, the default thresholds will be in effect.
The D30 relay does not support energy metering. As such, the IEC ENERGY DEFAULT THRESHOLD setting is not appli-
cable.
NOTE

The IEC 60870-5-104 and DNP protocols cannot be used simultaneously. When the IEC 60870-5-104 FUNCTION
setting is set to Enabled, the DNP protocol will not be operational. When this setting is changed it will not

The D30 supports the Simple Network Time Protocol specified in RFC-2030. With SNTP, the D30 can obtain clock time
over an Ethernet network. The D30 acts as an SNTP client to receive time values from an SNTP/NTP server, usually a ded-
icated product using a GPS receiver to provide an accurate time. Both unicast and broadcast SNTP are supported.
If SNTP functionality is enabled at the same time as IRIG-B, the IRIG-B signal provides the time value to the D30 clock for
as long as a valid signal is present. If the IRIG-B signal is removed, the time obtained from the SNTP server is used. If
either SNTP or IRIG-B is enabled, the D30 clock value cannot be changed using the front panel keypad.
To use SNTP in unicast mode, SNTP SERVER IP ADDR must be set to the SNTP/NTP server IP address. Once this address is
set and SNTP FUNCTION is Enabled, the D30 attempts to obtain time values from the SNTP/NTP server. Since many time
values are obtained and averaged, it generally takes three to four minutes until the D30 clock is closely synchronized with
the SNTP/NTP server. It may take up to two minutes for the D30 to signal an SNTP self-test error if the server is offline.
To use SNTP in broadcast mode, set the SNTP SERVER IP ADDR setting to 0.0.0.0 and SNTP FUNCTION to Enabled. The
D30 then listens to SNTP messages sent to the all ones broadcast address for the subnet. The D30 waits up to eighteen
minutes (>1024 seconds) without receiving an SNTP broadcast message before signaling an SNTP self-test error.
The UR-series relays do not support the multicast or anycast SNTP functionality.

The date and time can be synchronized a known time base and to other relays using an IRIG-B signal. It has the same
accuracy as an electronic watch, approximately 1 minute per month. If an IRIG-B signal is connected to the relay, only the
current year needs to be entered. See the COMMANDS SET DATE AND TIME menu to manually set the relay clock.
The REAL TIME CLOCK EVENTS setting allows changes to the date and/or time to be captured in the event record.
The LOCAL TIME OFFSET FROM UTC setting is used to specify the local time zone offset from Universal Coordinated Time
(Greenwich Mean Time) in hours. This setting has two uses. When the D30 is time synchronized with IRIG-B, or has no
permanent time synchronization, the offset is used to calculate UTC time for IEC 61850 features. When the D30 is time
synchronized with SNTP, the offset is used to determine the local time for the D30 clock, since SNTP provides UTC time.
The daylight savings time (DST) settings can be used to allow the D30 clock can follow the DST rules of the local time
zone. Note that when IRIG-B time synchronization is active, the DST settings are ignored. The DST settings are used when
the D30 is synchronized with SNTP, or when neither SNTP nor IRIG-B is used.
Only timestamps in the event recorder and communications protocols are affected by the daylight savings time set-
tings. The reported real-time clock value does not change.

The D30 relay supports one fault report and an associated fault locator. The signal source and trigger condition, as well as
the characteristics of the line or feeder, are entered in this menu.
The fault report stores data, in non-volatile memory, pertinent to an event when triggered. The captured data contained in
the FaultReport.txt file includes:
Fault report number.
Name of the relay, programmed by the user.
Firmware revision of the relay.
Date and time of trigger.
Name of trigger (specific operand).
Line or feeder ID via the name of a configured signal source.
Active setting group at the time of trigger.
Pre-fault current and voltage phasors (two cycles before either a 50DD disturbance associated with fault report source
or the trigger operate). Once a disturbance is detected, pre-fault phasors hold for 3 seconds waiting for the fault report
trigger. If trigger does not occur within this time, the values are cleared to prepare for the next disturbance.
Fault current and voltage phasors (one cycle after the trigger).
Elements operated at the time of triggering.
Events: 9 before trigger and 7 after trigger (only available via the relay webpage).
Fault duration times for each breaker (created by the breaker arcing current feature).

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 5-37


5.2 PRODUCT SETUP 5 SETTINGS

The captured data also includes the fault type and the distance to the fault location, as well as the reclose shot number
(when applicable) To include fault duration times in the fault report, the user must enable and configure breaker arcing cur-
rent feature for each of the breakers. Fault duration is reported on a per-phase basis.
The relay allows locating faults, including ground faults, from delta-connected VTs. In this case, the missing zero-sequence
voltage is substituted either by the externally provided neutral voltage (broken delta VT) connected to the auxiliary voltage
channel of a VT bank, or by the zero-sequence voltage approximated as a voltage drop developed by the zero-sequence
current, and user-provided zero-sequence equivalent impedance of the system behind the relay.
The trigger can be any FlexLogic operand, but in most applications it is expected to be the same operand, usually a vir-
tual output, that is used to drive an output relay to trip a breaker. To prevent the overwriting of fault events, the disturbance
detector should not be used to trigger a fault report. A FAULT RPT TRIG event is automatically created when the report is
triggered.
If a number of protection elements are ORed to create a fault report trigger, the first operation of any element causing the
OR gate output to become high triggers a fault report. However, If other elements operate during the fault and the first oper-
ated element has not been reset (the OR gate output is still high), the fault report is not triggered again. Considering the
reset time of protection elements, there is very little chance that fault report can be triggered twice in this manner. As the
fault report must capture a usable amount of pre and post-fault data, it can not be triggered faster than every 20 ms.
Each fault report is stored as a file; the relay capacity is fifteen (15) files. An sixteenth (16th) trigger overwrites the oldest
file.
The EnerVista UR Setup software is required to view all captured data. The relay faceplate display can be used to view the
date and time of trigger, the fault type, the distance location of the fault, and the reclose shot number.
The FAULT REPORT 1 SOURCE setting selects the source for input currents and voltages and disturbance detection.
The FAULT 1 REPORT TRIG setting assigns the FlexLogic operand representing the protection element/elements requiring
operational fault location calculations. The distance to fault calculations are initiated by this signal. The FAULT REPORT 1 Z1
5 MAG and FAULT REPORT 1 Z0 MAG impedances are entered in secondary ohms.

The FAULT REPORT 1 VT SUBSTITUTION setting shall be set to None if the relay is fed from wye-connected VTs. If delta-con-
nected VTs are used, and the relay is supplied with the neutral (3V0) voltage, this setting shall be set to V0. The method is
still exact, as the fault locator would combine the line-to-line voltage measurements with the neutral voltage measurement
to re-create the line-to-ground voltages. See the ACTUAL VALUES RECORDS FAULT REPORTS menu for additional
details. It required to configure the delta and neutral voltages under the source indicated as input for the fault report. Also,
the relay will check if the auxiliary signal configured is marked as Vn by the user (under VT setup), and inhibit the fault
location if the auxiliary signal is labeled differently.
If the broken-delta neutral voltage is not available to the relay, an approximation is possible by assuming the missing zero-
sequence voltage to be an inverted voltage drop produced by the zero-sequence current and the user-specified equivalent
zero-sequence system impedance behind the relay: V0 = Z0 I0. In order to enable this mode of operation, the FAULT
REPORT 1 VT SUBSTITUTION setting shall be set to I0.

The FAULT REP 1 SYSTEM Z0 MAG and FAULT REP 1 SYSTEM Z0 ANGLE settings are used only when the VT SUBSTITUTION set-
ting value is I0. The magnitude is to be entered in secondary ohms. This impedance is an average system equivalent
behind the relay. It can be calculated as zero-sequence Thevenin impedance at the local bus with the protected line/feeder
disconnected. The method is accurate only if this setting matches perfectly the actual system impedance during the fault. If
the system exhibits too much variability, this approach is questionable and the fault location results for single-line-to-ground
faults shall be trusted with accordingly. It should be kept in mind that grounding points in vicinity of the installation impact
the system zero-sequence impedance (grounded loads, reactors, zig-zag transformers, shunt capacitor banks, etc.).

The AC INPUT WAVEFORMS setting determines the sampling rate at which AC input signals (that is, current and voltage) are
stored. Reducing the sampling rate allows longer records to be stored. This setting has no effect on the internal sampling

When enabled, the LED test can be initiated from any digital input or user-programmable condition such as user-program-
mable pushbutton. The control operand is configured under the LED TEST CONTROL setting. The test covers all LEDs,
including the LEDs of the optional user-programmable pushbuttons.
The test consists of three stages.
1. All 62 LEDs on the relay are illuminated. This is a quick test to verify if any of the LEDs is burned. This stage lasts as
long as the control input is on, up to a maximum of 1 minute. After 1 minute, the test will end.
2. All the LEDs are turned off, and then one LED at a time turns on for 1 second, then back off. The test routine starts at
the top left panel, moving from the top to bottom of each LED column. This test checks for hardware failures that lead
to more than one LED being turned on from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.
3. All the LEDs are turned on. One LED at a time turns off for 1 second, then back on. The test routine starts at the top left
panel moving from top to bottom of each column of the LEDs. This test checks for hardware failures that lead to more
than one LED being turned off from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.
When testing is in progress, the LEDs are controlled by the test sequence, rather than the protection, control, and monitor-
ing features. However, the LED control mechanism accepts all the changes to LED states generated by the relay and
stores the actual LED states (on or off) in memory. When the test completes, the LEDs reflect the actual state resulting from
relay response during testing. The reset pushbutton will not clear any targets when the LED Test is in progress.
A dedicated FlexLogic operand, LED TEST IN PROGRESS, is set for the duration of the test. When the test sequence is ini-
tiated, the LED TEST INITIATED event is stored in the event recorder.
The entire test procedure is user-controlled. In particular, stage 1 can last as long as necessary, and stages 2 and 3 can be
interrupted. The test responds to the position and rising edges of the control input defined by the LED TEST CONTROL set-
ting. The control pulses must last at least 250 ms to take effect. The following diagram explains how the test is executed.

nate when the selected FlexLogic operand is in the logic 1 state.
For the standard faceplate, the LEDs are located as follows.
LED Panel 2: user-programmable LEDs 1 through 24
LED Panel 3: user programmable LEDs 25 through 48
5
For the enhanced faceplate, the LEDs are located as follows.
LED column 2: user-programmable LEDs 1 through 12
LED column 3: user-programmable LEDs 13 through 24
LED column 4: user-programmable LEDs 25 through 36
LED column 5: user-programmable LEDs 37 through 48
Refer to the LED indicators section in chapter 4 for additional information on the location of these indexed LEDs.
The user-programmable LED settings select the FlexLogic operands that control the LEDs. If the LED 1 TYPE setting is
Self-Reset (the default setting), the LED illumination will track the state of the selected LED operand. If the LED 1 TYPE set-
ting is Latched, the LED, once lit, remains so until reset by the faceplate RESET button, from a remote device via a com-
munications channel, or from any programmed operand, even if the LED operand state de-asserts.

There are three standard control pushbuttons, labeled USER 1, USER 2, and USER 3, on the standard and enhanced front
panels. These are user-programmable and can be used for various applications such as performing an LED test, switching
setting groups, and invoking and scrolling though user-programmable displays.
Firmware revisions 3.2x and older use these three pushbuttons for manual breaker control. This functionality has been
retained if the breaker control feature is configured to use the three pushbuttons, they cannot be used as user-program-
mable control pushbuttons.
The location of the control pushbuttons are shown in the following figures.

Control pushbuttons are not typically used for critical operations and are not protected by the control password. However,
by supervising their output operands, the user can dynamically enable or disable control pushbuttons for security reasons.
Each control pushbutton asserts its own FlexLogic operand. These operands should be configured appropriately to per-
form the desired function. The operand remains asserted as long as the pushbutton is pressed and resets when the push-
button is released. A dropout delay of 100 ms is incorporated to ensure fast pushbutton manipulation will be recognized by
various features that may use control pushbuttons as inputs.
An event is logged in the event record (as per user setting) when a control pushbutton is pressed. No event is logged when
the pushbutton is released. The faceplate keys (including control keys) cannot be operated simultaneously a given key
must be released before the next one can be pressed.

The optional user-programmable pushbuttons (specified in the order code) provide an easy and error-free method of enter-
ing digital state (on, off) information. The number of available pushbuttons is dependent on the faceplate module ordered
with the relay.
Type P faceplate: standard horizontal faceplate with 12 user-programmable pushbuttons.
Type Q faceplate: enhanced horizontal faceplate with 16 user-programmable pushbuttons.
The digital state can be entered locally (by directly pressing the front panel pushbutton) or remotely (via FlexLogic oper-
ands) into FlexLogic equations, protection elements, and control elements. Typical applications include breaker control,
autorecloser blocking, and setting groups changes. The user-programmable pushbuttons are under the control level of
password protection.
The user-configurable pushbuttons for the enhanced faceplate are shown below.

Both the standard and enhanced faceplate pushbuttons can be custom labeled with a factory-provided template, available
online at http://www.GEmultilin.com. The EnerVista UR Setup software can also be used to create labels for the enhanced
faceplate.
Each pushbutton asserts its own On and Off FlexLogic operands (for example, PUSHBUTTON 1 ON and PUSHBUTTON
5 1 OFF). These operands are available for each pushbutton and are used to program specific actions. If any pushbutton is
active, the ANY PB ON operand will be asserted.
Each pushbutton has an associated LED indicator. By default, this indicator displays the present status of the correspond-
ing pushbutton (on or off). However, each LED indicator can be assigned to any FlexLogic operand through the PUSHBTN
1 LED CTL setting.

The pushbuttons can be automatically controlled by activating the operands assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 SET (for latched and
self-reset mode) and PUSHBTN 1 RESET (for latched mode only) settings. The pushbutton reset status is declared when the
PUSHBUTTON 1 OFF operand is asserted. The activation and deactivation of user-programmable pushbuttons is dependent
on whether latched or self-reset mode is programmed.
Latched mode: In latched mode, a pushbutton can be set (activated) by asserting the operand assigned to the PUSH-
BTN 1 SET setting or by directly pressing the associated front panel pushbutton. The pushbutton maintains the set state
until deactivated by the reset command or after a user-specified time delay. The state of each pushbutton is stored in
non-volatile memory and maintained through a loss of control power.
The pushbutton is reset (deactivated) in latched mode by asserting the operand assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 RESET set-
ting or by directly pressing the associated active front panel pushbutton.
It can also be programmed to reset automatically through the PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST and PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST DELAY set-
tings. These settings enable the autoreset timer and specify the associated time delay. The autoreset timer can be
used in select-before-operate (SBO) breaker control applications, where the command type (close/open) or breaker
location (feeder number) must be selected prior to command execution. The selection must reset automatically if con-
trol is not executed within a specified time period.
Self-reset mode: In self-reset mode, a pushbutton will remain active for the time it is pressed (the pulse duration) plus
the dropout time specified in the PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME setting. If the pushbutton is activated via FlexLogic, the
pulse duration is specified by the PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME only. The time the operand remains assigned to the PUSH-
BTN 1 SET setting has no effect on the pulse duration.

The pushbutton is reset (deactivated) in self-reset mode when the dropout delay specified in the PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT
TIMEsetting expires.
The pulse duration of the remote set, remote reset, or local pushbutton must be at least 50 ms to operate the push-
button. This allows the user-programmable pushbuttons to properly operate during power cycling events and vari-
NOTE ous system disturbances that may cause transient assertion of the operating signals.

5-48 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.2 PRODUCT SETUP

The local and remote operation of each user-programmable pushbutton can be inhibited through the PUSHBTN 1 LOCAL and
PUSHBTN 1 REMOTE settings, respectively. If local locking is applied, the pushbutton will ignore set and reset commands
executed through the front panel pushbuttons. If remote locking is applied, the pushbutton will ignore set and reset com-
mands executed through FlexLogic operands.
The locking functions are not applied to the autorestart feature. In this case, the inhibit function can be used in SBO control
operations to prevent the pushbutton function from being activated and ensuring one-at-a-time select operation.
The locking functions can also be used to prevent the accidental pressing of the front panel pushbuttons. The separate
inhibit of the local and remote operation simplifies the implementation of local/remote control supervision.
Pushbutton states can be logged by the event recorder and displayed as target messages. In latched mode, user-defined
messages can also be associated with each pushbutton and displayed when the pushbutton is on or changing to off.
PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION: This setting selects the characteristic of the pushbutton. If set to Disabled, the push-
button is not active and the corresponding FlexLogic operands (both On and Off) are de-asserted. If set to Self-
Reset, the control logic is activated by the pulse (longer than 100 ms) issued when the pushbutton is being physically
pressed or virtually pressed via a FlexLogic operand assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 SET setting.
When in Self-Reset mode and activated locally, the pushbutton control logic asserts the On corresponding Flex-
Logic operand as long as the pushbutton is being physically pressed, and after being released the deactivation of
the operand is delayed by the drop out timer. The Off operand is asserted when the pushbutton element is deacti-
vated. If the pushbutton is activated remotely, the control logic of the pushbutton asserts the corresponding On Flex-
Logic operand only for the time period specified by the PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME setting.
If set to Latched, the control logic alternates the state of the corresponding FlexLogic operand between On and
Off on each button press or by virtually activating the pushbutton (assigning set and reset operands). When in the
Latched mode, the states of the FlexLogic operands are stored in a non-volatile memory. Should the power supply
be lost, the correct state of the pushbutton is retained upon subsequent power up of the relay.
PUSHBTN 1 ID TEXT: This setting specifies the top 20-character line of the user-programmable message and is 5
intended to provide ID information of the pushbutton. Refer to the User-definable displays section for instructions on
how to enter alphanumeric characters from the keypad.
PUSHBTN 1 ON TEXT: This setting specifies the bottom 20-character line of the user-programmable message and is
displayed when the pushbutton is in the on position. Refer to the User-definable displays section for instructions on
entering alphanumeric characters from the keypad.
PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT: This setting specifies the bottom 20-character line of the user-programmable message and is
displayed when the pushbutton is activated from the on to the off position and the PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION is
Latched. This message is not displayed when the PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION is Self-reset as the pushbutton operand
status is implied to be Off upon its release. The length of the Off message is configured with the PRODUCT SETUP
DISPLAY PROPERTIES FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting.
PUSHBTN 1 HOLD: This setting specifies the time required for a pushbutton to be pressed before it is deemed active.
This timer is reset upon release of the pushbutton. Note that any pushbutton operation will require the pushbutton to be
pressed a minimum of 50 ms. This minimum time is required prior to activating the pushbutton hold timer.
PUSHBTN 1 SET: This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to operate the pushbutton element and to
assert PUSHBUTTON 1 ON operand. The duration of the incoming set signal must be at least 100 ms.
PUSHBTN 1 RESET: This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to reset pushbutton element and to assert
PUSHBUTTON 1 OFF operand. This setting is applicable only if pushbutton is in latched mode. The duration of the
incoming reset signal must be at least 50 ms.
PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST: This setting enables the user-programmable pushbutton autoreset feature. This setting is
applicable only if the pushbutton is in the Latched mode.
PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST DELAY: This setting specifies the time delay for automatic reset of the pushbutton when in
the latched mode.
PUSHBTN 1 REMOTE: This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to inhibit pushbutton operation from the
operand assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 SET or PUSHBTN 1 RESET settings.
PUSHBTN 1 LOCAL: This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to inhibit pushbutton operation from the
front panel pushbuttons. This locking functionality is not applicable to pushbutton autoreset.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 5-49


5.2 PRODUCT SETUP 5 SETTINGS

PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME: This setting applies only to Self-Reset mode and specifies the duration of the push-
button active status after the pushbutton has been released. When activated remotely, this setting specifies the entire
activation time of the pushbutton status; the length of time the operand remains on has no effect on the pulse duration.
This setting is required to set the duration of the pushbutton operating pulse.
PUSHBTN 1 LED CTL: This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to drive pushbutton LED. If this setting is
Off, then LED operation is directly linked to PUSHBUTTON 1 ON operand.
PUSHBTN 1 MESSAGE: If pushbutton message is set to High Priority, the message programmed in the PUSHBTN 1
IDand PUSHBTN 1 ON TEXT settings will be displayed undisturbed as long as PUSHBUTTON 1 ON operand is asserted.
The high priority option is not applicable to the PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT setting.
This message can be temporary removed if any front panel keypad button is pressed. However, ten seconds of keypad
inactivity will restore the message if the PUSHBUTTON 1 ON operand is still active.
If the PUSHBTN 1 MESSAGE is set to Normal, the message programmed in the PUSHBTN 1 ID and PUSHBTN 1 ON TEXT
settings will be displayed as long as PUSHBUTTON 1 ON operand is asserted, but not longer than time period specified
by FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting. After the flash time is expired, the default message or other active target message is
displayed. The instantaneous reset of the flash message will be executed if any relay front panel button is pressed or
any new target or message becomes active.
The PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT setting is linked to PUSHBUTTON 1 OFF operand and will be displayed in conjunction with
PUSHBTN 1 ID only if pushbutton element is in the Latched mode. The PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT message will be displayed
as Normal if the PUSHBTN 1 MESSAGE setting is High Priority or Normal.
PUSHBUTTON 1 EVENTS: If this setting is enabled, each pushbutton state change will be logged as an event into
event recorder.

This feature provides a mechanism where any of 256 selected FlexLogic operand states can be used for efficient moni-
toring. The feature allows user-customized access to the FlexLogic operand states in the relay. The state bits are packed
so that 16 states may be read out in a single Modbus register. The state bits can be configured so that all of the states
which are of interest to the user are available in a minimum number of Modbus registers.

The state bits may be read out in the Flex States register array beginning at Modbus address 0900h. Sixteen states are
packed into each register, with the lowest-numbered state in the lowest-order bit. There are sixteen registers to accommo-
date the 256 state bits.

This menu provides a mechanism for manually creating up to 16 user-defined information displays in a convenient viewing
sequence in the USER DISPLAYS menu (between the TARGETS and ACTUAL VALUES top-level menus). The sub-menus facili-
tate text entry and Modbus register data pointer options for defining the user display content.
Once programmed, the user-definable displays can be viewed in two ways.
KEYPAD: Use the MENU key to select the USER DISPLAYS menu item to access the first user-definable display (note 5
that only the programmed screens are displayed). The screens can be scrolled using the UP and DOWN keys. The
display disappears after the default message time-out period specified by the PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPER-
TIES DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT setting.

USER-PROGRAMMABLE CONTROL INPUT: The user-definable displays also respond to the INVOKE AND SCROLL
setting. Any FlexLogic operand (in particular, the user-programmable pushbutton operands), can be used to navi-
gate the programmed displays.
On the rising edge of the configured operand (such as when the pushbutton is pressed), the displays are invoked by
showing the last user-definable display shown during the previous activity. From this moment onward, the operand
acts exactly as the down key and allows scrolling through the configured displays. The last display wraps up to the first
one. The INVOKE AND SCROLL input and the DOWN key operate concurrently.
When the default timer expires (set by the DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT setting), the relay will start to cycle through the
user displays. The next activity of the INVOKE AND SCROLL input stops the cycling at the currently displayed user dis-
play, not at the first user-defined display. The INVOKE AND SCROLL pulses must last for at least 250 ms to take effect.

Any existing system display can be automatically copied into an available user display by selecting the existing display and
pressing the ENTER key. The display will then prompt ADD TO USER DISPLAY LIST?. After selecting Yes, a message indi-
cates that the selected display has been added to the user display list. When this type of entry occurs, the sub-menus are
automatically configured with the proper content this content may subsequently be edited.
5 This menu is used to enter user-defined text and user-selected Modbus-registered data fields into the particular user dis-
play. Each user display consists of two 20-character lines (top and bottom). The tilde (~) character is used to mark the start
of a data field - the length of the data field needs to be accounted for. Up to five separate data fields can be entered in a
user display - the nth tilde (~) refers to the nth item.
A User Display may be entered from the faceplate keypad or the EnerVista UR Setup interface (preferred for convenience).
The following procedure shows how to enter text characters in the top and bottom lines from the faceplate keypad:
1. Select the line to be edited.
2. Press the decimal key to enter text edit mode.
3. Use either VALUE key to scroll through the characters. A space is selected like a character.
4. Press the decimal key to advance the cursor to the next position.
5. Repeat step 3 and continue entering characters until the desired text is displayed.
6. The HELP key may be pressed at any time for context sensitive help information.
7. Press the ENTER key to store the new settings.
To enter a numerical value for any of the five items (the decimal form of the selected Modbus address) from the faceplate
keypad, use the number keypad. Use the value of 0 for any items not being used. Use the HELP key at any selected sys-
tem display (setting, actual value, or command) which has a Modbus address, to view the hexadecimal form of the Modbus
address, then manually convert it to decimal form before entering it (EnerVista UR Setup usage conveniently facilitates this
conversion).
Use the MENU key to go to the user displays menu to view the user-defined content. The current user displays will show in
sequence, changing every 4 seconds. While viewing a user display, press the ENTER key and then select the Yes option
to remove the display from the user display list. Use the MENU key again to exit the user displays menu.

Direct inputs and outputs are intended for exchange of status information (inputs and outputs) between UR-series relays
connected directly via type 7 digital communications cards. The mechanism is very similar to IEC 61850 GSSE, except that
communications takes place over a non-switchable isolated network and is optimized for speed. On type 7 cards that sup-
port two channels, direct output messages are sent from both channels simultaneously. This effectively sends direct output

messages both ways around a ring configuration. On type 7 cards that support one channel, direct output messages are
sent only in one direction. Messages will be resent (forwarded) when it is determined that the message did not originate at
the receiver.
Direct output message timing is similar to GSSE message timing. Integrity messages (with no state changes) are sent at
least every 1000 ms. Messages with state changes are sent within the main pass scanning the inputs and asserting the
outputs unless the communication channel bandwidth has been exceeded. Two self-tests are performed and signaled by
the following FlexLogic operands:
1. DIRECT RING BREAK (direct input/output ring break). This FlexLogic operand indicates that direct output messages
sent from a UR-series relay are not being received back by the relay.
2. DIRECT DEVICE 1 OFF to DIRECT DEVICE 16 OFF (direct device offline). These FlexLogic operands indicate that direct
output messages from at least one direct device are not being received.
Direct input and output settings are similar to remote input and output settings. The equivalent of the remote device name
strings for direct inputs and outputs is the DIRECT OUTPUT DEVICE ID. The DIRECT OUTPUT DEVICE ID setting identifies the
relay in all direct output messages. All UR-series IEDs in a ring should have unique numbers assigned. The IED ID is used
to identify the sender of the direct input and output message.
If the direct input and output scheme is configured to operate in a ring (DIRECT I/O CH1 RING CONFIGURATION or DIRECT I/O
CH2 RING CONFIGURATION is Yes), all direct output messages should be received back. If not, the direct input/output ring
break self-test is triggered. The self-test error is signaled by the DIRECT RING BREAK FlexLogic operand.
Select the DIRECT I/O DATA RATE to match the data capabilities of the communications channel. All IEDs communicating
over direct inputs and outputs must be set to the same data rate. UR-series IEDs equipped with dual-channel communica-
tions cards apply the same data rate to both channels. Delivery time for direct input and output messages is approximately
0.2 of a power system cycle at 128 kbps and 0.4 of a power system cycle at 64 kbps, per each bridge.

NOTE

The DIRECT I/O CHANNEL CROSSOVER setting applies to D30s with dual-channel communication cards and allows crossing
over messages from channel 1 to channel 2. This places all UR-series IEDs into one direct input and output network
regardless of the physical media of the two communication channels.
The following application examples illustrate the basic concepts for direct input and output configuration. Please refer to the
Inputs and outputs section in this chapter for information on configuring FlexLogic operands (flags, bits) to be exchanged.

EXAMPLE 1: EXTENDING THE INPUT/OUTPUT CAPABILITIES OF A UR-SERIES RELAY


Consider an application that requires additional quantities of digital inputs or output contacts or lines of programmable logic
that exceed the capabilities of a single UR-series chassis. The problem is solved by adding an extra UR-series IED, such
as the C30, to satisfy the additional input and output and programmable logic requirements. The two IEDs are connected
via single-channel digital communication cards as shown in the figure below.

The message delivery time is about 0.2 of power cycle in both ways (at 128 kbps); that is, from device 1 to device 2, and
from device 2 to device 1. Different communications cards can be selected by the user for this back-to-back connection (for
example: fiber, G.703, or RS422).
EXAMPLE 2: INTERLOCKING BUSBAR PROTECTION
A simple interlocking busbar protection scheme could be accomplished by sending a blocking signal from downstream
devices, say 2, 3, and 4, to the upstream device that monitors a single incomer of the busbar, as shown below.

Message delivery time is approximately 0.2 of power system cycle (at 128 kbps) times number of bridges between the ori-
gin and destination. Dual-ring configuration effectively reduces the maximum communications distance by a factor of two.
In this configuration the following delivery times are expected (at 128 kbps) if both rings are healthy:
IED 1 to IED 2: 0.2 of power system cycle;
IED 1 to IED 3: 0.4 of power system cycle;
IED 1 to IED 4: 0.2 of power system cycle;
IED 2 to IED 3: 0.2 of power system cycle;
IED 2 to IED 4: 0.4 of power system cycle;
IED 3 to IED 4: 0.2 of power system cycle.
If one ring is broken (say TX2-RX2) the delivery times are as follows:
IED 1 to IED 2: 0.2 of power system cycle;
IED 1 to IED 3: 0.4 of power system cycle;
IED 1 to IED 4: 0.6 of power system cycle;
IED 2 to IED 3: 0.2 of power system cycle;
IED 2 to IED 4: 0.4 of power system cycle;
IED 3 to IED 4: 0.2 of power system cycle.
A coordinating timer for this bus protection scheme could be selected to cover the worst case scenario (0.4 of a power sys-
tem cycle). Upon detecting a broken ring, the coordination time should be adaptively increased to 0.6 of a power system
cycle. The complete application requires addressing a number of issues such as failure of both the communications rings,
failure or out-of-service conditions of one of the relays, etc. Self-monitoring flags of the direct inputs and outputs feature
would be primarily used to address these concerns.

In the above scheme, IEDs 1 and 3 do not communicate directly. IED 2 must be configured to forward the messages as

The D30 checks integrity of the incoming direct input and output messages using a 32-bit CRC. The CRC alarm function is
available for monitoring the communication medium noise by tracking the rate of messages failing the CRC check. The
monitoring function counts all incoming messages, including messages that failed the CRC check. A separate counter adds
up messages that failed the CRC check. When the failed CRC counter reaches the user-defined level specified by the CRC
ALARM CH1 THRESHOLD setting within the user-defined message count CRC ALARM 1 CH1 COUNT, the DIR IO CH1 CRC ALARM
FlexLogic operand is set.
When the total message counter reaches the user-defined maximum specified by the CRC ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT set-
ting, both the counters reset and the monitoring process is restarted.

The operand shall be configured to drive an output contact, user-programmable LED, or selected communication-based
output. Latching and acknowledging conditions - if required - should be programmed accordingly.
The CRC alarm function is available on a per-channel basis. The total number of direct input and output messages that
failed the CRC check is available as the ACTUAL VALUES STATUS DIRECT INPUTS CRC FAIL COUNT CH1 actual
value.
Message count and length of the monitoring window: To monitor communications integrity, the relay sends 1 message
per second (at 64 kbps) or 2 messages per second (128 kbps) even if there is no change in the direct outputs. For
example, setting the CRC ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT to 10000, corresponds a time window of about 160 minutes at
64 kbps and 80 minutes at 128 kbps. If the messages are sent faster as a result of direct outputs activity, the monitor-
ing time interval will shorten. This should be taken into account when determining the CRC ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT
setting. For example, if the requirement is a maximum monitoring time interval of 10 minutes at 64 kbps, then the CRC
ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT should be set to 10 60 1 = 600.

Correlation of failed CRC and bit error rate (BER): The CRC check may fail if one or more bits in a packet are cor-
rupted. Therefore, an exact correlation between the CRC fail rate and the BER is not possible. Under certain assump-
tions an approximation can be made as follows. A direct input and output packet containing 20 bytes results in 160 bits
of data being sent and therefore, a transmission of 63 packets is equivalent to 10,000 bits. A BER of 104 implies 1 bit
error for every 10000 bits sent or received. Assuming the best case of only 1 bit error in a failed packet, having 1 failed
packet for every 63 received is about equal to a BER of 104.

turned messages. This function counts all the outgoing messages and a separate counter adds the messages have failed

Digital teleprotection functionality is designed to transfer protection commands between two or three relays in a secure,
fast, dependable, and deterministic fashion. Possible applications are permissive or blocking pilot schemes and direct
transfer trip (DTT). Teleprotection can be applied over any analog or digital channels and any communications media, such
as direct fiber, copper wires, optical networks, or microwave radio links. A mixture of communication media is possible.
Once teleprotection is enabled and the teleprotection input/outputs are configured, data packets are transmitted continu-
ously every 1/4 cycle (3/8 cycle if using C37.94 modules) from peer-to-peer. Security of communication channel data is
achieved by using CRC-32 on the data packet.
5
Teleprotection inputs/outputs and direct inputs/outputs are mutually exclusive as such, they cannot be used simu-
latneously. Once teleprotection inputs and outputs are enabled, direct inputs and outputs are blocked, and vice
NOTE versa.
NUMBER OF TERMINALS: Specifies whether the teleprotection system operates between two peers or three peers.
NUMBER OF CHANNELS: Specifies how many channels are used. If the NUMBER OF TERMINALS is 3 (three-terminal
system), set the NUMBER OF CHANNELS to 2. For a two-terminal system, the NUMBER OF CHANNELS can set to 1 or
2 (redundant channels).
LOCAL RELAY ID NUMBER, TERMINAL 1 RELAY ID NUMBER, and TERMINAL 2 RELAY ID NUMBER: In installa-
tions that use multiplexers or modems, it is desirable to ensure that the data used by the relays protecting a given line
is from the correct relays. The teleprotection function performs this check by reading the message ID sent by transmit-
ting relays and comparing it to the programmed ID in the receiving relay. This check is also used to block inputs if inad-
vertently set to loopback mode or data is being received from a wrong relay by checking the ID on a received channel.
If an incorrect ID is found on a channel during normal operation, the TELEPROT CH1 ID FAIL or TELEPROT CH2 ID FAIL
FlexLogic operand is set, driving the event with the same name and blocking the teleprotection inputs. For commis-
sioning purposes, the result of channel identification is also shown in the STATUS CHANNEL TESTS VALIDITY OF
CHANNEL CONFIGURATION actual value. The default value of 0 for the LOCAL RELAY ID NUMBER indicates that relay ID
is not to be checked. On two- terminals two-channel systems, the same LOCAL RELAY ID NUMBER is transmitted over
both channels; as such, only the TERMINAL 1 ID NUMBER has to be programmed on the receiving end.

5.3REMOTE RESOURCES 5.3.1 REMOTE RESOURCES CONFIGURATION

When D30 is ordered with a process card module as a part of HardFiber system, then an additional Remote Resources
menu tree is available in EnerVista UR Setup software to allow configuring HardFiber system.

Figure 517: REMOTE RESOURCES CONFIGURATION MENU


The remote resources settings configure a D30 with a process bus module to work with devices called Bricks. Remote
resources configuration is only available through the EnerVista UR Setup software, and is not available through the D30
front panel. A Brick provides eight AC measurements, along with contact inputs, DC analog inputs, and contact outputs, to 5
be the remote interface to field equipment such as circuit breakers and transformers. The D30 with a process bus module
has access to all of the capabilities of up to eight Bricks. Remote resources settings configure the point-to-point connection
between specific fiber optic ports on the D30 process card and specific Brick. The relay is then configured to measure spe-
cific currents, voltages and contact inputs from those Bricks, and to control specific outputs.
The configuration process for remote resources is straightforward and consists of the following steps.
Configure the field units. This establishes the point-to-point connection between a specific port on the relay process
bus module, and a specific digital core on a specific Brick. This is a necessary first step in configuring a process bus
relay.
Configure the AC banks. This sets the primary and secondary quantities and connections for currents and voltages.
AC bank configuration also provides a provision for redundant measurements for currents and voltages, a powerful
reliability improvement possible with process bus.
Configure signal sources. This functionality of the D30 has not changed other than the requirement to use currents and
voltages established by AC bank configuration under the remote resources menu.
Configure field contact inputs, field contact outputs, RTDs, and transducers as required for the application's functional-
ity. These inputs and outputs are the physical interface to circuit breakers, transformers, and other equipment. They
replace the traditional contact inputs and outputs located at the relay to virtually eliminate copper wiring.
Configure shared inputs and outputs as required for the application's functionality. Shared inputs and outputs are dis-
tinct binary channels that provide high-speed protection quality signaling between relays through a Brick.

See the Introduction to AC Sources section at the beginning of this chapter for additional details.
These settings are critical for all features that have settings dependent on current measurements. When the relay is
ordered, the CT module must be specified to include a standard or sensitive ground input. As the phase CTs are connected
in wye (star), the calculated phasor sum of the three phase currents (IA + IB + IC = neutral current = 3Io) is used as the
input for the neutral overcurrent elements. In addition, a zero-sequence (core balance) CT which senses current in all of the
circuit primary conductors, or a CT in a neutral grounding conductor may also be used. For this configuration, the ground
5 CT primary rating must be entered. To detect low level ground fault currents, the sensitive ground input may be used. In this
case, the sensitive ground CT primary rating must be entered. Refer to chapter 3 for more details on CT connections.
Enter the rated CT primary current values. For both 1000:5 and 1000:1 CTs, the entry would be 1000. For correct opera-
tion, the CT secondary rating must match the setting (which must also correspond to the specific CT connections used).
The following example illustrates how multiple CT inputs (current banks) are summed as one source current. Given If the
following current banks:
F1: CT bank with 500:1 ratio.
F5: CT bank with 1000: ratio.
The following rule applies:
SRC 1 = F1 + F5 (EQ 5.6)

1 pu is the highest primary current. In this case, 1000 is entered and the secondary current from the 500:1 and 800:1 ratio
CTs will be adjusted to that created by a 1000:1 CT before summation. If a protection element is set up to act on SRC 1 cur-
rents, then a pickup level of 1 pu will operate on 1000 A primary.
The same rule applies for current sums from CTs with different secondary taps (5 A and 1 A).

The phase sequence of the power system is required to properly calculate sequence components and power parameters.
The PHASE ROTATION setting matches the power system phase sequence. Note that this setting informs the relay of the
actual system phase sequence, either ABC or ACB. CT and VT inputs on the relay, labeled as A, B, and C, must be con-
nected to system phases A, B, and C for correct operation.

The FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE setting determines which signal source is used (and hence which AC signal) for
phase angle reference. The AC signal used is prioritized based on the AC inputs that are configured for the signal source:
phase voltages takes precedence, followed by auxiliary voltage, then phase currents, and finally ground current.
For three phase selection, phase A is used for angle referencing ( V ANGLE REF = V A ), while Clarke transformation of the
phase signals is used for frequency metering and tracking ( V FREQUENCY = ( 2V A V B V C ) 3 ) for better performance dur-
ing fault, open pole, and VT and CT fail conditions.
The phase reference and frequency tracking AC signals are selected based upon the Source configuration, regardless of
whether or not a particular signal is actually applied to the relay.
Phase angle of the reference signal will always display zero degrees and all other phase angles will be relative to this sig-
nal. If the pre-selected reference signal is not measurable at a given time, the phase angles are not referenced.
The phase angle referencing is done via a phase locked loop, which can synchronize independent UR-series relays if they
have the same AC signal reference. These results in very precise correlation of time tagging in the event recorder between
different UR-series relays provided the relays have an IRIG-B connection.
FREQUENCY TRACKING should only be set to Disabled in very unusual circumstances; consult the factory for spe-
cial variable-frequency applications.
NOTE

The frequency tracking feature will function only when the D30 is in the Programmed mode. If the D30 is Not Pro-
grammed, then metering values will be available but may exhibit significant errors.

Identical menus are available for each source. The "SRC 1" text can be replaced by with a user-defined name appropriate
for the associated source.
The first letter in the source identifier represents the module slot position. The number directly following this letter repre-
sents either the first bank of four channels (1, 2, 3, 4) called 1 or the second bank of four channels (5, 6, 7, 8) called 5 in
a particular CT/VT module. Refer to the Introduction to AC sources section at the beginning of this chapter for additional
details on this concept.
It is possible to select the sum of all CT combinations. The first channel displayed is the CT to which all others will be
referred. For example, the selection F1+F5 indicates the sum of each phase from channels F1 and F5, scaled to
whichever CT has the higher ratio. Selecting None hides the associated actual values.
The approach used to configure the AC sources consists of several steps; first step is to specify the information about each
CT and VT input. For CT inputs, this is the nominal primary and secondary current. For VTs, this is the connection type,
ratio and nominal secondary voltage. Once the inputs have been specified, the configuration for each source is entered,
including specifying which CTs will be summed together.

User selection of AC parameters for comparator elements:


CT/VT modules automatically calculate all current and voltage parameters from the available inputs. Users must select the
specific input parameters to be measured by every element in the relevant settings menu. The internal design of the ele-
ment specifies which type of parameter to use and provides a setting for source selection. In elements where the parameter
may be either fundamental or RMS magnitude, such as phase time overcurrent, two settings are provided. One setting
specifies the source, the second setting selects between fundamental phasor and RMS.
AC input actual values:
The calculated parameters associated with the configured voltage and current inputs are displayed in the current and volt-
age sections of actual values. Only the phasor quantities associated with the actual AC physical input channels will be dis-
played here. All parameters contained within a configured source are displayed in the sources section of the actual values.
DISTURBANCE DETECTORS (INTERNAL):
The disturbance detector (ANSI 50DD) element is a sensitive current disturbance detector that detects any disturbance on
the protected system. The 50DD function is intended for use in conjunction with measuring elements, blocking of current
based elements (to prevent maloperation as a result of the wrong settings), and starting oscillography data capture. A dis-
turbance detector is provided for each source.
The 50DD function responds to the changes in magnitude of the sequence currents. The disturbance detector scheme
logic is as follows:

Figure 518: DISTURBANCE DETECTOR LOGIC DIAGRAM


The disturbance detector responds to the change in currents of twice the current cut-off level. The default cut-off threshold
is 0.02 pu; thus by default the disturbance detector responds to a change of 0.04 pu. The metering sensitivity setting (PROD-
UCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL) controls the sensitivity of the disturbance detector
accordingly.
EXAMPLE USE OF SOURCES:
An example of the use of sources is shown in the diagram below. A relay could have the following hardware configuration:
This configuration could be used on a two-winding transformer, with one winding connected into a breaker-and-a-half sys-
tem. The following figure shows the arrangement of sources used to provide the functions required in this application, and
the CT/VT inputs that are used to provide the data.

A description of the operation of the breaker control and status monitoring features is provided in chapter 4. Only informa-
tion concerning programming of the associated settings is covered here. These features are provided for two or more
breakers; a user may use only those portions of the design relevant to a single breaker, which must be breaker 1.
The number of breaker control elements is dependent on the number of CT/VT modules specified with the D30. The follow-
ing settings are available for each breaker control element.
BREAKER 1 FUNCTION: This setting enables and disables the operation of the breaker control feature.
BREAKER1 PUSH BUTTON CONTROL: Set to Enable to allow faceplate push button operations.
BREAKER 1 NAME: Assign a user-defined name (up to six characters) to the breaker. This name will be used in flash
messages related to breaker 1.
BREAKER 1 MODE: This setting selects 3-pole mode, where all breaker poles are operated simultaneously, or 1-
pole mode where all breaker poles are operated either independently or simultaneously.
BREAKER 1 OPEN: This setting selects an operand that creates a programmable signal to operate an output relay to
open breaker 1.
BREAKER 1 BLK OPEN: This setting selects an operand that prevents opening of the breaker. This setting can be
used for select-before-operate functionality or to block operation from a panel switch or from SCADA.
BREAKER 1 CLOSE: This setting selects an operand that creates a programmable signal to operate an output relay
to close breaker 1.
BREAKER 1 BLK CLOSE: This setting selects an operand that prevents closing of the breaker. This setting can be
used for select-before-operate functionality or to block operation from a panel switch or from SCADA.
BREAKER 1 A/3P CLOSED: This setting selects an operand, usually a contact input connected to a breaker auxil-
iary position tracking mechanism. This input should be a normally-open 52/a status input to create a logic 1 when the
5 breaker is closed. If the BREAKER 1 MODE setting is selected as 3-Pole, this setting selects a single input as the oper-
and used to track the breaker open or closed position. If the mode is selected as 1-Pole, the input mentioned above
is used to track phase A and the BREAKER 1 B and BREAKER 1 C settings select operands to track phases B and C,
respectively.
BREAKER 1 A/3P OPND: This setting selects an operand, usually a contact input, that should be a normally-closed
52/b status input to create a logic 1 when the breaker is open. If a separate 52/b contact input is not available, then the
inverted BREAKER 1 CLOSED status signal can be used.
BREAKER 1 B CLOSED: If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected
as single-pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase B closed position as above for phase A.
BREAKER 1 B OPENED: If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected
as single-pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase B opened position as above for phase A.
BREAKER 1 C CLOSED: If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected
as single-pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase C closed position as above for phase A.
BREAKER 1 C OPENED: If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected
as single-pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase C opened position as above for phase A.
BREAKER 1 Toperate: This setting specifies the required interval to overcome transient disagreement between the
52/a and 52/b auxiliary contacts during breaker operation. If transient disagreement still exists after this time has
expired, the BREAKER 1 BAD STATUS FlexLogic operand is asserted from alarm or blocking purposes.
BREAKER 1 EXT ALARM: This setting selects an operand, usually an external contact input, connected to a breaker
alarm reporting contact.
BREAKER 1 ALARM DELAY: This setting specifies the delay interval during which a disagreement of status among
the three-pole position tracking operands will not declare a pole disagreement. This allows for non-simultaneous oper-
ation of the poles.
MANUAL CLOSE RECAL1 TIME: This setting specifies the interval required to maintain setting changes in effect after
an operator has initiated a manual close command to operate a circuit breaker.
BREAKER 1 OUT OF SV: Selects an operand indicating that breaker 1 is out-of-service.

The disconnect switch element contains the auxiliary logic for status and serves as the interface for opening and closing of
disconnect switches from SCADA or through the front panel interface. The disconnect switch element can be used to cre-
ate an interlocking functionality. For greater security in determination of the switch pole position, both the 52/a and 52/b

ear approximation may result in undesired behavior for the operating quantity that is close to 1.00 pu.

b) FLEXCURVE CONFIGURATION WITH ENERVISTA UR SETUP


The EnerVista UR Setup software allows for easy configuration and management of FlexCurves and their associated
data points. Prospective FlexCurves can be configured from a selection of standard curves to provide the best approxi-
mate fit, then specific data points can be edited afterwards. Alternately, curve data can be imported from a specified file
(.csv format) by selecting the Import Data From EnerVista UR Setup setting.
Curves and data can be exported, viewed, and cleared by clicking the appropriate buttons. FlexCurves are customized
by editing the operating time (ms) values at pre-defined per-unit current multiples. Note that the pickup multiples start at
zero (implying the "reset time"), operating time below pickup, and operating time above pickup.

c) RECLOSER CURVE EDITING


Recloser curve selection is special in that recloser curves can be shaped into a composite curve with a minimum response
time and a fixed time above a specified pickup multiples. There are 41 recloser curve types supported. These definite oper-
ating times are useful to coordinate operating times, typically at higher currents and where upstream and downstream pro-
tective devices have different operating characteristics. The recloser curve configuration window shown below appears

clicked.

Multiplier: Scales (multiplies) the curve operating times

Addr: Adds the time specified in this field (in ms) to each
curve operating time value.

Minimum Response Time (MRT): If enabled, the MRT setting


defines the shortest operating time even if the curve suggests
a shorter time at higher current multiples. A composite operating
characteristic is effectively defined. For current multiples lower
5
than the intersection point, the curve dictates the operating time;
otherwise, the MRT does. An information message appears
when attempting to apply an MRT shorter than the minimum
curve time.

High Current Time: Allows the user to set a pickup multiple


from which point onwards the operating time is fixed. This is
normally only required at higher current levels. The HCT Ratio
defines the high current pickup multiple; the HCT defines the
operating time.

The multiplier and adder settings only affect the curve portion of the characteristic and not the MRT and HCT set-
tings. The HCT settings override the MRT settings for multiples of pickup greater than the HCT ratio.

d) EXAMPLE
A composite curve can be created from the GE_111 standard with MRT = 200 ms and HCT initially disabled and then
enabled at eight (8) times pickup with an operating time of 30 ms. At approximately four (4) times pickup, the curve operat-
ing time is equal to the MRT and from then onwards the operating time remains at 200 ms (see below).

842719A1.CDR

Figure 524: COMPOSITE RECLOSER CURVE WITH HCT DISABLED


With the HCT feature enabled, the operating time reduces to 30 ms for pickup multiples exceeding 8 times pickup.

842720A1.CDR

Figure 525: COMPOSITE RECLOSER CURVE WITH HCT ENABLED


Configuring a composite curve with an increase in operating time at increased pickup multiples is not allowed. If this
is attempted, the EnerVista UR Setup software generates an error message and discards the proposed changes.

5.5FLEXLOGIC 5.5.1 INTRODUCTION TO FLEXLOGIC

To provide maximum flexibility to the user, the arrangement of internal digital logic combines fixed and user-programmed
parameters. Logic upon which individual features are designed is fixed, and all other logic, from digital input signals through
elements or combinations of elements to digital outputs, is variable. The user has complete control of all variable logic
through FlexLogic. In general, the system receives analog and digital inputs which it uses to produce analog and digital
outputs. The major sub-systems of a generic UR-series relay involved in this process are shown below.

Figure 534: UR ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW


The states of all digital signals used in the D30 are represented by flags (or FlexLogic operands, which are described
later in this section). A digital 1 is represented by a 'set' flag. Any external contact change-of-state can be used to block an
element from operating, as an input to a control feature in a FlexLogic equation, or to operate a contact output. The state
of the contact input can be displayed locally or viewed remotely via the communications facilities provided. If a simple
scheme where a contact input is used to block an element is desired, this selection is made when programming the ele-
ment. This capability also applies to the other features that set flags: elements, virtual inputs, remote inputs, schemes, and
human operators.
If more complex logic than presented above is required, it is implemented via FlexLogic. For example, if it is desired to
have the closed state of contact input H7a and the operated state of the phase undervoltage element block the operation of
the phase time overcurrent element, the two control input states are programmed in a FlexLogic equation. This equation
ANDs the two control inputs to produce a virtual output which is then selected when programming the phase time overcur-
rent to be used as a blocking input. Virtual outputs can only be created by FlexLogic equations.
Traditionally, protective relay logic has been relatively limited. Any unusual applications involving interlocks, blocking, or
supervisory functions had to be hard-wired using contact inputs and outputs. FlexLogic minimizes the requirement for
auxiliary components and wiring while making more complex schemes possible.

5.5 FLEXLOGIC 5 SETTINGS

The logic that determines the interaction of inputs, elements, schemes and outputs is field programmable through the use
of logic equations that are sequentially processed. The use of virtual inputs and outputs in addition to hardware is available
internally and on the communication ports for other relays to use (distributed FlexLogic).
FlexLogic allows users to customize the relay through a series of equations that consist of operators and operands. The
operands are the states of inputs, elements, schemes and outputs. The operators are logic gates, timers and latches (with
set and reset inputs). A system of sequential operations allows any combination of specified operands to be assigned as
inputs to specified operators to create an output. The final output of an equation is a numbered register called a virtual out-
put. Virtual outputs can be used as an input operand in any equation, including the equation that generates the output, as a
seal-in or other type of feedback.
A FlexLogic equation consists of parameters that are either operands or operators. Operands have a logic state of 1 or 0.
Operators provide a defined function, such as an AND gate or a Timer. Each equation defines the combinations of parame-
ters to be used to set a Virtual Output flag. Evaluation of an equation results in either a 1 (=ON, i.e. flag set) or 0 (=OFF, i.e.
flag not set). Each equation is evaluated at least 4 times every power system cycle.
Some types of operands are present in the relay in multiple instances; e.g. contact and remote inputs. These types of oper-
ands are grouped together (for presentation purposes only) on the faceplate display. The characteristics of the different
types of operands are listed in the table below.

5.5.2 FLEXLOGIC RULES

When forming a FlexLogic equation, the sequence in the linear array of parameters must follow these general rules:
1. Operands must precede the operator which uses the operands as inputs.
2. Operators have only one output. The output of an operator must be used to create a virtual output if it is to be used as
an input to two or more operators.
3. Assigning the output of an operator to a virtual output terminates the equation.
4. A timer operator (for example, "TIMER 1") or virtual output assignment (for example, " = Virt Op 1") may only be used
once. If this rule is broken, a syntax error will be declared.

5.5.3 FLEXLOGIC EVALUATION

Each equation is evaluated in the order in which the parameters have been entered.
FlexLogic provides latches which by definition have a memory action, remaining in the set state after the
set input has been asserted. However, they are volatile; that is, they reset on the re-application of control
NOTE power.
When making changes to settings, all FlexLogic equations are re-compiled whenever any new setting
value is entered, so all latches are automatically reset. If it is necessary to re-initialize FlexLogic during
testing, for example, it is suggested to power the unit down and then back up.

5.5.4 FLEXLOGIC EXAMPLE

This section provides an example of implementing logic for a typical application. The sequence of the steps is quite impor-
tant as it should minimize the work necessary to develop the relay settings. Note that the example presented in the figure
below is intended to demonstrate the procedure, not to solve a specific application situation.
In the example below, it is assumed that logic has already been programmed to produce virtual outputs 1 and 2, and is only
a part of the full set of equations used. When using FlexLogic, it is important to make a note of each virtual output used
a virtual output designation (1 to 96) can only be properly assigned once.

Figure 535: EXAMPLE LOGIC SCHEME

5 1. Inspect the example logic diagram to determine if the required logic can be implemented with the FlexLogic opera-
tors. If this is not possible, the logic must be altered until this condition is satisfied. Once this is done, count the inputs
to each gate to verify that the number of inputs does not exceed the FlexLogic limits, which is unlikely but possible. If
the number of inputs is too high, subdivide the inputs into multiple gates to produce an equivalent. For example, if 25
inputs to an AND gate are required, connect Inputs 1 through 16 to AND(16), 17 through 25 to AND(9), and the outputs
from these two gates to AND(2).
Inspect each operator between the initial operands and final virtual outputs to determine if the output from the operator
is used as an input to more than one following operator. If so, the operator output must be assigned as a virtual output.
For the example shown above, the output of the AND gate is used as an input to both OR#1 and Timer 1, and must
therefore be made a virtual output and assigned the next available number (i.e. Virtual Output 3). The final output must
also be assigned to a virtual output as virtual output 4, which will be programmed in the contact output section to oper-
ate relay H1 (that is, contact output H1).
Therefore, the required logic can be implemented with two FlexLogic equations with outputs of virtual output 3 and
virtual output 4 as shown below.

2. Prepare a logic diagram for the equation to produce virtual output 3, as this output will be used as an operand in the
virtual output 4 equation (create the equation for every output that will be used as an operand first, so that when these
operands are required they will already have been evaluated and assigned to a specific virtual output). The logic for
virtual output 3 is shown below with the final output assigned.

4. Program the FlexLogic equation for virtual output 3 by translating the logic into available FlexLogic parameters.
The equation is formed one parameter at a time until the required logic is complete. It is generally easier to start at the
output end of the equation and work back towards the input, as shown in the following steps. It is also recommended to
list operator inputs from bottom to top. For demonstration, the final output will be arbitrarily identified as parameter 99,
and each preceding parameter decremented by one in turn. Until accustomed to using FlexLogic, it is suggested that
a worksheet with a series of cells marked with the arbitrary parameter numbers be prepared, as shown below.

5. Following the procedure outlined, start with parameter 99, as follows:
99: The final output of the equation is virtual output 3, which is created by the operator "= Virt Op n". This parameter is
therefore "= Virt Op 3."

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 5-97


5.5 FLEXLOGIC 5 SETTINGS

98: The gate preceding the output is an AND, which in this case requires two inputs. The operator for this gate is a 2-
input AND so the parameter is AND(2). Note that FlexLogic rules require that the number of inputs to most
types of operators must be specified to identify the operands for the gate. As the 2-input AND will operate on the
two operands preceding it, these inputs must be specified, starting with the lower.
97: This lower input to the AND gate must be passed through an inverter (the NOT operator) so the next parameter is
NOT. The NOT operator acts upon the operand immediately preceding it, so specify the inverter input next.
96: The input to the NOT gate is to be contact input H1c. The ON state of a contact input can be programmed to be
set when the contact is either open or closed. Assume for this example the state is to be ON for a closed contact.
The operand is therefore Cont Ip H1c On.
95: The last step in the procedure is to specify the upper input to the AND gate, the operated state of digital element 2.
This operand is "DIG ELEM 2 OP".
Writing the parameters in numerical order can now form the equation for virtual output 3:
[95] DIG ELEM 2 OP
[96] Cont Ip H1c On
[97] NOT
[98] AND(2)
[99] = Virt Op 3
It is now possible to check that this selection of parameters will produce the required logic by converting the set of parame-
ters into a logic diagram. The result of this process is shown below, which is compared to the logic for virtual output 3 dia-
gram as a check.

98: The operator preceding the output is timer 2, which is operand TIMER 2". Note that the settings required for the
timer are established in the timer programming section.
97: The operator preceding timer 2 is OR #2, a 3-input OR, which is parameter OR(3).

94: The input to timer 1 is operand Virt Op 3 On".

is parameter OR(4).

7. Now write the complete FlexLogic expression required to implement the logic, making an effort to assemble the
equation in an order where Virtual Outputs that will be used as inputs to operators are created before needed. In cases
where a lot of processing is required to perform logic, this may be difficult to achieve, but in most cases will not cause
problems as all logic is calculated at least four times per power frequency cycle. The possibility of a problem caused by
sequential processing emphasizes the necessity to test the performance of FlexLogic before it is placed in service.
In the following equation, virtual output 3 is used as an input to both latch 1 and timer 1 as arranged in the order shown
below:

In the expression above, the virtual output 4 input to the four-input OR is listed before it is created. This is typical of a
form of feedback, in this case, used to create a seal-in effect with the latch, and is correct.
8. The logic should always be tested after it is loaded into the relay, in the same fashion as has been used in the past.
Testing can be simplified by placing an "END" operator within the overall set of FlexLogic equations. The equations
will then only be evaluated up to the first "END" operator.
The "On" and "Off" operands can be placed in an equation to establish a known set of conditions for test purposes, and
the "INSERT" and "DELETE" commands can be used to modify equations.

A FlexElement is a universal comparator that can be used to monitor any analog actual value calculated by the relay or a
net difference of any two analog actual values of the same type. The effective operating signal could be treated as a signed
number or its absolute value could be used as per user's choice.
The element can be programmed to respond either to a signal level or to a rate-of-change (delta) over a pre-defined period
of time. The output operand is asserted when the operating signal is higher than a threshold or lower than a threshold as
per user's choice.

The FLEXELEMENT 1 +IN setting specifies the first (non-inverted) input to the FlexElement. Zero is assumed as the input if
this setting is set to Off. For proper operation of the element at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
5 will not assert its output operands.
This FLEXELEMENT 1 IN setting specifies the second (inverted) input to the FlexElement. Zero is assumed as the input if
this setting is set to Off. For proper operation of the element at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
will not assert its output operands. This input should be used to invert the signal if needed for convenience, or to make the
element respond to a differential signal such as for a top-bottom oil temperature differential alarm. The element will not
operate if the two input signals are of different types, for example if one tries to use active power and phase angle to build
the effective operating signal.
The element responds directly to the differential signal if the FLEXELEMENT 1 INPUT MODE setting is set to Signed. The ele-
ment responds to the absolute value of the differential signal if this setting is set to Absolute. Sample applications for the
Absolute setting include monitoring the angular difference between two phasors with a symmetrical limit angle in both
directions; monitoring power regardless of its direction, or monitoring a trend regardless of whether the signal increases of
decreases.
The element responds directly to its operating signal as defined by the FLEXELEMENT 1 +IN, FLEXELEMENT 1 IN and FLEX-
ELEMENT 1 INPUT MODE settings if the FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE setting is set to Level. The element responds to the
rate of change of its operating signal if the FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE setting is set to Delta. In this case the FLEXELE-
MENT 1 dt UNIT and FLEXELEMENT 1 dt settings specify how the rate of change is derived.

The FLEXELEMENT 1 DIRECTION setting enables the relay to respond to either high or low values of the operating signal. The
following figure explains the application of the FLEXELEMENT 1 DIRECTION, FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP and FLEXELEMENT 1 HYS-
TERESIS settings.

The FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP setting specifies the operating threshold for the effective operating signal of the element. If set
to Over, the element picks up when the operating signal exceeds the FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP value. If set to Under, the
element picks up when the operating signal falls below the FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP value.
The FLEXELEMENT 1 HYSTERESIS setting controls the element dropout. It should be noticed that both the operating signal
and the pickup threshold can be negative facilitating applications such as reverse power alarm protection. The FlexEle-
ment can be programmed to work with all analog actual values measured by the relay. The FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP set-
ting is entered in per-unit values using the following definitions of the base units:

5 The FLEXELEMENT 1 HYSTERESIS setting defines the pickupdropout relation of the element by specifying the width of the
hysteresis loop as a percentage of the pickup value as shown in the FlexElement direction, pickup, and hysteresis dia-
gram.
The FLEXELEMENT 1 DT UNIT setting specifies the time unit for the setting FLEXELEMENT 1 dt. This setting is applicable only if
FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE is set to Delta. The FLEXELEMENT 1 DT setting specifies duration of the time interval for the
rate of change mode of operation. This setting is applicable only if FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE is set to Delta.
This FLEXELEMENT 1 PKP DELAY setting specifies the pickup delay of the element. The FLEXELEMENT 1 RST DELAY setting
specifies the reset delay of the element.

5.6GROUPED ELEMENTS 5.6.1 OVERVIEW

Each protection element can be assigned up to six different sets of settings according to setting group designations 1 to 6.
The performance of these elements is defined by the active setting group at a given time. Multiple setting groups allow the
user to conveniently change protection settings for different operating situations (for example, altered power system config-
uration, season of the year, etc.). The active setting group can be preset or selected via the SETTING GROUPS menu (see the
Control elements section later in this chapter). See also the Introduction to elements section at the beginning of this chap-
ter.

The line pickup feature uses a combination of undercurrent and undervoltage to identify a line that has been de-energized
(line end open). Alternately, the user may assign a FlexLogic operand to the TERMINAL OPEN setting that specifies the ter-
minal status. Three instantaneous overcurrent elements are used to identify a previously de-energized line that has been
closed onto a fault. Faults other than close-in faults can be identified satisfactorily with the distance elements.
Co-ordination features are included to ensure satisfactory operation when high speed automatic reclosure (AR) is
employed. The AR CO-ORD DELAY setting allows the overcurrent setting to be below the expected load current seen after
reclose. Co-ordination is achieved by all of the LINE PICKP UV elements resetting and blocking the trip path before the AR
CO-ORD DELAY times out. The AR CO-ORD BYPASS setting is normally enabled. It is disabled if high speed autoreclosure is
implemented.
The line pickup protection incorporates zone 1 extension capability. When the line is being re-energized from the local ter-
minal, pickup of an overreaching zone 2 or excessive phase current within eight power cycles after the autorecloser issues
a close command results in the LINE PICKUP RCL TRIP FlexLogic operand. For security, the overcurrent trip is supervised

by an undervoltage condition, which in turn is controlled by the VT FUSE FAIL OP operand with a 10 ms coordination timer. If
a trip from distance in not required, then it can be disabled with the LINE PICKUP DISTANCE TRIP setting. Configure the LINE
PICKUP RCL TRIP operand to perform a trip action if the intent is apply zone 1 extension.

The zone 1 extension philosophy used here normally operates from an under-reaching zone, and uses an overreaching
distance zone when reclosing the line with the other line end open. The AR ACCELERATE setting is provided to achieve
zone 1 extension functionality if external autoreclosure is employed. Another zone 1 extension approach is to permanently
apply an overreaching zone, and reduce the reach when reclosing. This philosophy can be programmed via the autore-
close scheme.

Four common settings are available for distance protection. The DISTANCE SOURCE identifies the signal source for all dis-
tance functions. The mho distance functions use a dynamic characteristic: the positive-sequence voltage either memo-
rized or actual is used as a polarizing signal. The memory voltage is also used by the built-in directional supervising
functions applied for both the mho and quad characteristics.
The MEMORY DURATION setting specifies the length of time a memorized positive-sequence voltage should be used in the
distance calculations. After this interval expires, the relay checks the magnitude of the actual positive-sequence voltage. If
it is higher than 10% of the nominal, the actual voltage is used, if lower the memory voltage continues to be used.
The memory is established when the positive-sequence voltage stays above 80% of its nominal value for five power system
cycles. For this reason it is important to ensure that the nominal secondary voltage of the VT is entered correctly under the
SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP AC INPUTS VOLTAGE BANK menu.

Set MEMORY DURATION long enough to ensure stability on close-in reverse three-phase faults. For this purpose, the maxi-
mum fault clearing time (breaker fail time) in the substation should be considered. On the other hand, the MEMORY DURA-
TION cannot be too long as the power system may experience power swing conditions rotating the voltage and current
phasors slowly while the memory voltage is static, as frozen at the beginning of the fault. Keeping the memory in effect for
too long may eventually lead to incorrect operation of the distance functions.
The distance zones can be forced to become self-polarized through the FORCE SELF-POLAR setting. Any user-selected con-
dition (FlexLogic operand) can be configured to force self-polarization. When the selected operand is asserted (logic 1),
the distance functions become self-polarized regardless of other memory voltage logic conditions. When the selected oper-
and is de-asserted (logic 0), the distance functions follow other conditions of the memory voltage logic as shown below.
The distance zones can be forced to become memory-polarized through the FORCE MEM-POLAR setting. Any user-selected
condition (any FlexLogic operand) can be configured to force memory polarization. When the selected operand is
asserted (logic 1), the distance functions become memory-polarized regardless of the positive-sequence voltage magni-
tude at this time. When the selected operand is de-asserted (logic 0), the distance functions follow other conditions of the
memory voltage logic.

The FORCE SELF-POLAR and FORCE MEM-POLAR settings should never be asserted simultaneously. If this happens, the logic
will give higher priority to forcing self-polarization as indicated in the logic below. This is consistent with the overall philoso-
phy of distance memory polarization.
The memory polarization cannot be applied permanently but for a limited time only; the self-polarization may be
applied permanently and therefore should take higher priority.

The phase mho distance function uses a dynamic 100% memory-polarized mho characteristic with additional reactance,
5
directional, and overcurrent supervising characteristics. When set to Non-directional, the mho function becomes an offset
mho with the reverse reach controlled independently from the forward reach, and all the directional characteristics
removed.
The phase quadrilateral distance function is comprised of a reactance characteristic, right and left blinders, and 100%
memory-polarized directional and current supervising characteristics. When set to Non-directional, the quadrilateral func-
tion applies a reactance line in the reverse direction instead of the directional comparators. Refer to Chapter 8 for additional
information.
Each phase distance zone is configured individually through its own setting menu. All of the settings can be independently
modified for each of the zones except:
1. The SIGNAL SOURCE setting (common for the distance elements of all zones as entered under SETTINGS GROUPED
ELEMENTS SETTING GROUP 1(6) DISTANCE).

2. The MEMORY DURATION setting (common for the distance elements of all zones as entered under SETTINGS
GROUPED ELEMENTS SETTING GROUP 1(6) DISTANCE).

The common distance settings described earlier must be properly chosen for correct operation of the phase distance ele-
ments. Additional details may be found in chapter 8: Theory of operation.
Although all zones can be used as either instantaneous elements (pickup [PKP] and dropout [DPO] FlexLogic operands)
or time-delayed elements (operate [OP] FlexLogic operands), only zone 1 is intended for the instantaneous under-reach-
ing tripping mode.
Ensure that the PHASE VT SECONDARY VOLTAGE setting (see the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP AC INPUTS
VOLTAGE BANK menu) is set correctly to prevent improper operation of associated memory action.
WARNING

PHS DIST Z1 DIR: All phase distance zones are reversible. The forward direction is defined by the PHS DIST Z1 RCA
setting, whereas the reverse direction is shifted 180 from that angle. The non-directional zone spans between the for-
ward reach impedance defined by the PHS DIST Z1 REACH and PHS DIST Z1 RCA settings, and the reverse reach imped-
ance defined by PHS DIST Z1 REV REACH and PHS DIST Z1 REV REACH RCA as illustrated below.

PHS DIST Z1 XFMR VOL CONNECTION: The phase distance elements can be applied to look through a three-phase
delta-wye or wye-delta power transformer. In addition, VTs and CTs could be located independently from one another
at different windings of the transformer. If the potential source is located at the correct side of the transformer, this set-
ting shall be set to None.
This setting specifies the location of the voltage source with respect to the involved power transformer in the direction
of the zone. The following figure illustrates the usage of this setting. In section (a), zone 1 is looking through a trans-
former from the delta into the wye winding. Therefore, the Z1 setting shall be set to Dy11. In section (b), Zone 3 is
looking through a transformer from the wye into the delta winding. Therefore, the Z3 setting shall be set to Yd1. The
zone is restricted by the potential point (location of the VTs) as illustrated in Figure (e).
PHS DIST Z1 XFMR CUR CONNECTION: This setting specifies the location of the current source with respect to the
involved power transformer in the direction of the zone. In section (a) of the following figure, zone 1 is looking through
a transformer from the delta into the wye winding. Therefore, the Z1 setting shall be set to Dy11. In section (b), the
CTs are located at the same side as the read point. Therefore, the Z3 setting shall be set to None.
See the Theory of operation chapter for more details, and the Application of settings chapter for information on calcu-
lating distance reach settings in applications involving power transformers.

PHS DIST Z1 REACH: This setting defines the zone reach for the forward and reverse applications. In the non-direc-
tional applications, this setting defines the forward reach of the zone. The reverse reach impedance in non-directional
applications is set independently. The reach impedance is entered in secondary ohms. The reach impedance angle is
entered as the PHS DIST Z1 RCA setting.
PHS DIST Z1 RCA: This setting specifies the characteristic angle (similar to the maximum torque angle in previous
technologies) of the phase distance characteristic for the forward and reverse applications. In the non-directional appli-
cations, this setting defines the angle of the forward reach impedance. The reverse reach impedance in the non-direc-
tional applications is set independently. The setting is an angle of reach impedance as shown in the distance
characteristic figures shown earlier. This setting is independent from PHS DIST Z1 DIR RCA, the characteristic angle of an
extra directional supervising function.

5.6 GROUPED ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

PHS DIST Z1 REV REACH: This setting defines the reverse reach of the zone set to non-directional (PHS DIST Z1 DIR
setting). The value must be entered in secondary ohms. This setting does not apply when the zone direction is set to
Forward or Reverse.
PHS DIST Z1 REV REACH RCA: This setting defines the angle of the reverse reach impedance if the zone is set to
non-directional (PHS DIST Z1 DIR setting). This setting does not apply when the zone direction is set to Forward or
Reverse.
PHS DIST Z1 COMP LIMIT: This setting shapes the operating characteristic. In particular, it produces the lens-type
characteristic of the mho function and a tent-shaped characteristic of the reactance boundary of the quadrilateral func-
tion. If the mho shape is selected, the same limit angle applies to both the mho and supervising reactance compara-
tors. In conjunction with the mho shape selection, the setting improves loadability of the protected line. In conjunction
with the quadrilateral characteristic, this setting improves security for faults close to the reach point by adjusting the
reactance boundary into a tent-shape.
PHS DIST Z1 DIR RCA: This setting selects the characteristic angle (or maximum torque angle) of the directional
supervising function. If the mho shape is applied, the directional function is an extra supervising function as the
dynamic mho characteristic is itself directional. In conjunction with the quadrilateral shape, this setting defines the only
directional function built into the phase distance element. The directional function uses the memory voltage for polar-
ization. This setting typically equals the distance characteristic angle PHS DIST Z1 RCA.
PHS DIST Z1 DIR COMP LIMIT: Selects the comparator limit angle for the directional supervising function.
PHS DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD: This setting defines the right blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along
the resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figures). The angular position of
the blinder is adjustable with the use of the PHS DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the
quadrilateral characteristic and should be set giving consideration to the maximum load current and required resistive
coverage.

5 PHS DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the right blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figures).
PHS DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD: This setting defines the left blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along the
resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figures). The angular position of the
blinder is adjustable with the use of the PHS DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the quadri-
lateral characteristic and should be set with consideration to the maximum load current.
PHS DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the left blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figures).
PHS DIST Z1 SUPV: The phase distance elements are supervised by the magnitude of the line-to-line current (fault
loop current used for the distance calculations). For convenience, 3 is accommodated by the pickup (that is, before
being used, the entered value of the threshold setting is multiplied by 3 ).
If the minimum fault current level is sufficient, the current supervision pickup should be set above maximum full load
current preventing maloperation under VT fuse fail conditions. This requirement may be difficult to meet for remote
faults at the end of zones 2 and above. If this is the case, the current supervision pickup would be set below the full
load current, but this may result in maloperation during fuse fail conditions.
PHS DIST Z1 VOLT LEVEL: This setting is relevant for applications on series-compensated lines, or in general, if
series capacitors are located between the relaying point and a point where the zone shall not overreach. For plain
(non-compensated) lines, set to zero. Otherwise, the setting is entered in per unit of the phase VT bank configured
under the DISTANCE SOURCE. Effectively, this setting facilitates dynamic current-based reach reduction. In non-direc-
tional applications (PHS DIST Z1 DIR set to Non-directional), this setting applies only to the forward reach of the non-
directional zone. See chapters 8 and 9 for information on calculating this setting for series compensated lines.
PHS DIST Z1 DELAY: This setting allows the user to delay operation of the distance elements and implement stepped
distance protection. The distance element timers for zones 2 and higher apply a short dropout delay to cope with faults
located close to the zone boundary when small oscillations in the voltages or currents could inadvertently reset the
timer. Zone 1 does not need any drop out delay since it is sealed-in by the presence of current.
PHS DIST Z1 BLK: This setting enables the user to select a FlexLogic operand to block a given distance element.
VT fuse fail detection is one of the applications for this setting.

The ground mho distance function uses a dynamic 100% memory-polarized mho characteristic with additional reactance,
directional, current, and phase selection supervising characteristics. The ground quadrilateral distance function is com-
posed of a reactance characteristic, right and left blinders, and 100% memory-polarized directional, overcurrent, and phase
selection supervising characteristics.
When set to non-directional, the mho function becomes an offset mho with the reverse reach controlled independently from
the forward reach, and all the directional characteristics removed. When set to non-directional, the quadrilateral function
applies a reactance line in the reverse direction instead of the directional comparators.
The reactance supervision for the mho function uses the zero-sequence current for polarization. The reactance line of the
quadrilateral function uses either zero-sequence or negative-sequence current as a polarizing quantity. The selection is
controlled by a user setting and depends on the degree of non-homogeneity of the zero-sequence and negative-sequence 5
equivalent networks.
The directional supervision uses memory voltage as polarizing quantity and both zero- and negative-sequence currents as
operating quantities.
The phase selection supervision restrains the ground elements during double-line-to-ground faults as they by principles
of distance relaying may be inaccurate in such conditions. Ground distance zones 1 and higher apply additional zero-
sequence directional supervision. See chapter 8 for additional details.
Each ground distance zone is configured individually through its own setting menu. All of the settings can be independently
modified for each of the zones except:
1. The SIGNAL SOURCE setting (common for both phase and ground elements for all zones as entered under the SETTINGS
GROUPED ELEMENTS SETTING GROUP 1(6) DISTANCE menu).
2. The MEMORY DURATION setting (common for both phase and ground elements for all zones as entered under the SET-
TINGS GROUPED ELEMENTS SETTING GROUP 1(6) DISTANCE menu).

The common distance settings noted at the start of this section must be properly chosen for correct operation of the ground
distance elements.
Although all ground distance zones can be used as either instantaneous elements (pickup [PKP] and dropout [DPO] Flex-
Logic signals) or time-delayed elements (operate [OP] FlexLogic signals), only zone 1 is intended for the instantaneous
under-reaching tripping mode.
Ensure that the PHASE VT SECONDARY VOLTAGE (see the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP AC INPUTS VOLTAGE
BANK menu) is set correctly to prevent improper operation of associated memory action.
WARNING

GND DIST Z1 DIR: All ground distance zones are reversible. The forward direction is defined by the GND DIST Z1 RCA
setting and the reverse direction is shifted by 180 from that angle. The non-directional zone spans between the for-
ward reach impedance defined by the GND DIST Z1 REACH and GND DIST Z1 RCA settings, and the reverse reach imped-
ance defined by the GND DIST Z1 REV REACH and GND DIST Z1 REV REACH RCA settings.
GND DIST Z1 SHAPE: This setting selects the shape of the ground distance characteristic between the mho and
quadrilateral characteristics. The selection is available on a per-zone basis.

GND DIST Z1 Z0/Z1 MAG: This setting specifies the ratio between the zero-sequence and positive-sequence imped-
ance required for zero-sequence compensation of the ground distance elements. This setting is available on a per-
zone basis, enabling precise settings for tapped, non-homogeneous, and series compensated lines.
GND DIST Z1 Z0/Z1 ANG: This setting specifies the angle difference between the zero-sequence and positive-
sequence impedance required for zero-sequence compensation of the ground distance elements. The entered value is
the zero-sequence impedance angle minus the positive-sequence impedance angle. This setting is available on a per-
zone basis, enabling precise values for tapped, non-homologous, and series-compensated lines.
GND DIST Z1 ZOM/Z1 MAG: The ground distance elements can be programmed to apply compensation for the zero-
sequence mutual coupling between parallel lines. If this compensation is required, the ground current from the parallel
line (3I_0) measured in the direction of the zone being compensated must be connected to the ground input CT of the
CT bank configured under the DISTANCE SOURCE. This setting specifies the ratio between the magnitudes of the mutual

zero-sequence impedance between the lines and the positive-sequence impedance of the protected line. It is impera-
tive to set this setting to zero if the compensation is not to be performed.
GND DIST Z1 ZOM/Z1 ANG: This setting specifies the angle difference between the mutual zero-sequence imped-
ance between the lines and the positive-sequence impedance of the protected line.
GND DIST Z1 REACH: This setting defines the reach of the zone for the forward and reverse applications. In non-
directional applications, this setting defines the forward reach of the zone. The reverse reach impedance in non-direc-
tional applications is set independently. The angle of the reach impedance is entered as the GND DIST Z1 RCA setting.
The reach impedance is entered in secondary ohms.
GND DIST Z1 RCA: This setting specifies the characteristic angle (similar to the maximum torque angle in previous
technologies) of the ground distance characteristic for the forward and reverse applications. In the non-directional
applications this setting defines the forward reach of the zone. The reverse reach impedance in the non-directional
applications is set independently. This setting is independent from the GND DIST Z1 DIR RCA setting (the characteristic
angle of an extra directional supervising function).
The relay internally performs zero-sequence compensation for the protected circuit based on the values
entered for GND DIST Z1 Z0/Z1 MAG and GND DIST Z1 Z0/Z1 ANG, and if configured to do so, zero-sequence com-

ANG. The GND DIST Z1 REACH and GND DIST Z1 RCA should, therefore, be entered in terms of positive sequence
quantities. Refer to chapters 8 for additional information
GND DIST Z1 REV REACH: This setting defines the reverse reach of the zone set to non-directional (GND DIST Z1 DIR
setting). The value must be entered in secondary ohms. This setting does not apply when the zone direction is set to
Forward or Reverse.
GND DIST Z1 REV REACH RCA: This setting defines the angle of the reverse reach impedance if the zone is set to
non-directional (GND DIST Z1 DIR setting). This setting does not apply when the zone direction is set to Forward or
Reverse. 5
GND DIST Z1 POL CURRENT: This setting applies only if the GND DIST Z1 SHAPE is set to Quad and controls the
polarizing current used by the reactance comparator of the quadrilateral characteristic. Either the zero-sequence or
negative-sequence current could be used. In general, a variety of system conditions must be examined to select an
optimum polarizing current. This setting becomes less relevant when the resistive coverage and zone reach are set
conservatively. Also, this setting is more relevant in lower voltage applications such as on distribution lines or cables,
as compared with high-voltage transmission lines. This setting applies to both the zone 1 and reverse reactance lines
if the zone is set to non-directional. Refer to chapters 8 and 9 for additional information.
GND DIST Z1 NON-HOMOGEN ANG: This setting applies only if the GND DIST Z1 SHAPE is set to Quad and provides
a method to correct the angle of the polarizing current of the reactance comparator for non-homogeneity of the zero-
sequence or negative-sequence networks. In general, a variety of system conditions must be examined to select this
setting. In many applications this angle is used to reduce the reach at high resistances in order to avoid overreaching
under far-out reach settings and/or when the sequence networks are greatly non-homogeneous. This setting applies to
both the forward and reverse reactance lines if the zone is set to non-directional. Refer to chapters 8 and 9 for addi-
tional information.
GND DIST Z1 COMP LIMIT: This setting shapes the operating characteristic. In particular, it enables a lens-shaped
characteristic of the mho function and a tent-shaped characteristic of the quadrilateral function reactance boundary. If
the mho shape is selected, the same limit angle applies to mho and supervising reactance comparators. In conjunction
with the mho shape selection, this setting improves loadability of the protected line. In conjunction with the quadrilat-
eral characteristic, this setting improves security for faults close to the reach point by adjusting the reactance boundary
into a tent-shape.
GND DIST Z1 DIR RCA: Selects the characteristic angle (or maximum torque angle) of the directional supervising
function. If the mho shape is applied, the directional function is an extra supervising function, as the dynamic mho
characteristic itself is a directional one. In conjunction with the quadrilateral shape selection, this setting defines the
only directional function built into the ground distance element. The directional function uses memory voltage for polar-
ization.
GND DIST Z1 DIR COMP LIMIT: This setting selects the comparator limit angle for the directional supervising function.
GND DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD: This setting defines the right blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along
the resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figure). The angular position of
the blinder is adjustable with the use of the GND DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the

quadrilateral characteristic and should be set with consideration to the maximum load current and required resistive
coverage.
GND DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the right blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figure).
GND DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD: This setting defines the left blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along the
resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figure). The angular position of the
blinder is adjustable with the use of the GND DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the quadri-
lateral characteristic and should be set with consideration to the maximum load current.
GND DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the left blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figure).
GND DIST Z1 SUPV: The ground distance elements are supervised by the magnitude of the neutral (3I_0) current.
The current supervision pickup should be set less than the minimum 3I_0 current for the end of the zone fault, taking
into account the desired fault resistance coverage to prevent maloperation due to VT fuse failure. Settings less than
0.2 pu are not recommended and should be applied with caution.
GND DIST Z1 POS-SEQ SUPV RESTR: This setting enhances ground distance security against spurious neutral cur-
rent during three-phase faults, phase-to-phase faults, and switch-off transients. To accomplish this, a small amount of
positive-sequence current is subtracted from the neutral current magnitude to prevent the supervising current from sat-
isfying the ground distance operate condition. This restraint is especially beneficial for instantaneous zone 1. Setting
this value to zero removes the positive-sequence restraint.
GND DIST Z1 VOLT LEVEL: This setting is relevant for applications on series-compensated lines, or in general, if
series capacitors are located between the relaying point and a point for which the zone shall not overreach. For plain
(non-compensated) lines, this setting shall be set to zero. Otherwise, the setting is entered in per unit of the VT bank
configured under the DISTANCE SOURCE. Effectively, this setting facilitates dynamic current-based reach reduction. In
5 non-directional applications (GND DIST Z1 DIR set to Non-directional), this setting applies only to the forward reach of
the non-directional zone. See chapters 8 and 9 for additional details and information on calculating this setting value
for applications on series compensated lines.
GND DIST Z1 DELAY: This setting enables the user to delay operation of the distance elements and implement a
stepped distance backup protection. The distance element timer applies a short drop out delay to cope with faults
located close to the boundary of the zone when small oscillations in the voltages or currents could inadvertently reset
the timer.
GND DIST Z1 BLK: This setting enables the user to select a FlexLogic operand to block the given distance element.
VT fuse fail detection is one of the applications for this setting.

GROUND DIRECTIONAL SUPERVISION:
A dual (zero-sequence and negative-sequence) memory-polarized directional supervision applied to the ground distance
protection elements has been shown to give good directional integrity. However, a reverse double-line-to-ground fault can
lead to a maloperation of the ground element in a sound phase if the zone reach setting is increased to cover high resis-
tance faults.
Ground distance zones 2 and higher use an additional ground directional supervision to enhance directional integrity. The
elements directional characteristic angle is used as a maximum torque angle together with a 90 limit angle.
The supervision is biased toward operation in order to avoid compromising the sensitivity of ground distance elements at
low signal levels. Otherwise, the reverse fault condition that generates concern will have high polarizing levels so that a cor-
rect reverse fault decision can be reliably made.

The power swing detect element provides both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping functions. The element mea-
sures the positive-sequence apparent impedance and traces its locus with respect to either two or three user-selectable
operating characteristic boundaries. Upon detecting appropriate timing relations, the blocking and tripping indications are
given through FlexLogic operands. The element incorporates an adaptive disturbance detector. This function does not
trigger on power swings, but is capable of detecting faster disturbances faults in particular that may occur during power
swings. Operation of this dedicated disturbance detector is signaled via the POWER SWING 50DD operand.
The power swing detect element asserts two outputs intended for blocking selected protection elements on power swings:
POWER SWING BLOCK is a traditional signal that is safely asserted for the entire duration of the power swing, and POWER
SWING UN/BLOCK is established in the same way, but resets when an extra disturbance is detected during the power swing.
The POWER SWING UN/BLOCK operand may be used for blocking selected protection elements if the intent is to respond to
faults during power swing conditions.
Different protection elements respond differently to power swings. If tripping is required for faults during power swing condi-
tions, some elements may be blocked permanently (using the POWER SWING BLOCK operand), and others may be blocked
and dynamically unblocked upon fault detection (using the POWER SWING UN/BLOCK operand).

5.6 GROUPED ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

The operating characteristic and logic figures should be viewed along with the following discussion to develop an under-
standing of the operation of the element.
The power swing detect element operates in three-step or two-step mode:
Three-step operation: The power swing blocking sequence essentially times the passage of the locus of the positive-
sequence impedance between the outer and the middle characteristic boundaries. If the locus enters the outer charac-
teristic (indicated by the POWER SWING OUTER FlexLogic operand) but stays outside the middle characteristic (indi-
cated by the POWER SWING MIDDLE FlexLogic operand) for an interval longer than POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 1,
the power swing blocking signal (POWER SWING BLOCK FlexLogic operand) is established and sealed-in. The block-
ing signal resets when the locus leaves the outer characteristic, but not sooner than the POWER SWING RESET DELAY 1
time.
Two-step operation: If the two-step mode is selected, the sequence is identical, but it is the outer and inner character-
istics that are used to time the power swing locus.
The out-of-step tripping feature operates as follows for three-step and two-step power swing detection modes:
Three-step operation: The out-of-step trip sequence identifies unstable power swings by determining if the imped-
ance locus spends a finite time between the outer and middle characteristics and then a finite time between the middle
and inner characteristics. The first step is similar to the power swing blocking sequence. After timer POWER SWING
PICKUP DELAY 1 times out, latch 1 is set as long as the impedance stays within the outer characteristic.

If afterwards, at any time (given the impedance stays within the outer characteristic), the locus enters the middle char-
acteristic but stays outside the inner characteristic for a period of time defined as POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2, latch
2 is set as long as the impedance stays inside the outer characteristic. If afterwards, at any time (given the impedance
stays within the outer characteristic), the locus enters the inner characteristic and stays there for a period of time
defined as POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 3, latch 2 is set as long as the impedance stays inside the outer characteristic;
the element is now ready to trip.
5 If the "Early" trip mode is selected, the POWER SWING TRIP operand is set immediately and sealed-in for the interval
set by the POWER SWING SEAL-IN DELAY. If the "Delayed" trip mode is selected, the element waits until the impedance
locus leaves the inner characteristic, then times out the POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2 and sets Latch 4; the element is
now ready to trip. The trip operand is set later, when the impedance locus leaves the outer characteristic.
Two-step operation: The two-step mode of operation is similar to the three-step mode with two exceptions. First, the
initial stage monitors the time spent by the impedance locus between the outer and inner characteristics. Second, the
stage involving the POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2 timer is bypassed. It is up to the user to integrate the blocking
(POWER SWING BLOCK) and tripping (POWER SWING TRIP) FlexLogic operands with other protection functions and
output contacts in order to make this element fully operational.
The element can be set to use either lens (mho) or rectangular (quadrilateral) characteristics as illustrated below. When set
to Mho, the element applies the right and left blinders as well. If the blinders are not required, their settings should be set
high enough to effectively disable the blinders.

The FlexLogic output operands for the power swing detect element are described below:
The POWER SWING OUTER, POWER SWING MIDDLE, POWER SWING INNER, POWER SWING TMR2 PKP, POWER SWING
TMR3 PKP, and POWER SWING TMR4 PKP FlexLogic operands are auxiliary operands that could be used to facilitate
testing and special applications.
The POWER SWING BLOCK FlexLogic operand shall be used to block selected protection elements such as distance
functions.
The POWER SWING UN/BLOCK FlexLogic operand shall be used to block those protection elements that are intended
to be blocked under power swings, but subsequently unblocked should a fault occur after the power swing blocking
condition has been established.
The POWER SWING 50DD FlexLogic operand indicates that an adaptive disturbance detector integrated with the ele-
ment has picked up. This operand will trigger on faults occurring during power swing conditions. This includes both
three-phase and single-pole-open conditions.
The POWER SWING INCOMING FlexLogic operand indicates an unstable power swing with an incoming locus (the
locus enters the inner characteristic).
The POWER SWING OUTGOING FlexLogic operand indicates an unstable power swing with an outgoing locus (the
locus leaving the outer characteristic). This operand can be used to count unstable swings and take certain action only
after pre-defined number of unstable power swings.
The POWER SWING TRIP FlexLogic operand is a trip command.
The settings for the power swing detect element are described below:
POWER SWING FUNCTION: This setting enables and disables the entire power swing detection element. The setting
applies to both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping functions.
POWER SWING SOURCE: The source setting identifies the signal source for both blocking and tripping functions.
POWER SWING SHAPE: This setting selects the shapes (either Mho or Quad) of the outer, middle and, inner char-
acteristics of the power swing detect element. The operating principle is not affected. The Mho characteristics use the
left and right blinders.

5 SETTINGS 5.6 GROUPED ELEMENTS

POWER SWING MODE: This setting selects between the two-step and three-step operating modes and applies to
both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping functions. The three-step mode applies if there is enough space
between the maximum load impedances and distance characteristics of the relay that all three (outer, middle, and
inner) characteristics can be placed between the load and the distance characteristics. Whether the spans between
the outer and middle as well as the middle and inner characteristics are sufficient should be determined by analysis of
the fastest power swings expected in correlation with settings of the power swing timers.
The two-step mode uses only the outer and inner characteristics for both blocking and tripping functions. This leaves
more space in heavily loaded systems to place two power swing characteristics between the distance characteristics
and the maximum load, but allows for only one determination of the impedance trajectory.
POWER SWING SUPV: A common overcurrent pickup level supervises all three power swing characteristics. The
supervision responds to the positive sequence current.
POWER SWING FWD REACH: This setting specifies the forward reach of all three mho characteristics and the inner
quadrilateral characteristic. For a simple system consisting of a line and two equivalent sources, this reach should be
higher than the sum of the line and remote source positive-sequence impedances. Detailed transient stability studies
may be needed for complex systems in order to determine this setting. The angle of this reach impedance is specified
by the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting.
POWER SWING QUAD FWD REACH MID: This setting specifies the forward reach of the middle quadrilateral charac-
teristic. The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting. The setting is not used if
the shape setting is Mho.
POWER SWING QUAD FWD REACH OUT: This setting specifies the forward reach of the outer quadrilateral charac-
teristic. The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting. The setting is not used if
the shape setting is Mho.
POWER SWING FWD RCA: This setting specifies the angle of the forward reach impedance for the mho characteris-
tics, angles of all the blinders, and both forward and reverse reach impedances of the quadrilateral characteristics. 5
POWER SWING REV REACH: This setting specifies the reverse reach of all three mho characteristics and the inner
quadrilateral characteristic. For a simple system of a line and two equivalent sources, this reach should be higher than
the positive-sequence impedance of the local source. Detailed transient stability studies may be needed for complex
systems to determine this setting. The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the POWER SWING REV RCA setting
for Mho, and the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting for Quad.
POWER SWING QUAD REV REACH MID: This setting specifies the reverse reach of the middle quadrilateral charac-
teristic. The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting. The setting is not used if
the shape setting is Mho.
POWER SWING QUAD REV REACH OUT: This setting specifies the reverse reach of the outer quadrilateral charac-
teristic. The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting. The setting is not used if
the shape setting is Mho.
POWER SWING REV RCA: This setting specifies the angle of the reverse reach impedance for the mho characteris-
tics. This setting applies to mho shapes only.
POWER SWING OUTER LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines the outer power swing characteristic. The convention
depicted in the Power swing detect characteristic diagram should be observed: values greater than 90 result in an
apple-shaped characteristic; values less than 90 result in a lens shaped characteristic. This angle must be selected in
consideration of the maximum expected load. If the maximum load angle is known, the outer limit angle should be
coordinated with a 20 security margin. Detailed studies may be needed for complex systems to determine this setting.
This setting applies to mho shapes only.
POWER SWING MIDDLE LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines the middle power swing detect characteristic. It is rele-
vant only for the 3-step mode. A typical value would be close to the average of the outer and inner limit angles. This
setting applies to mho shapes only.
POWER SWING INNER LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines the inner power swing detect characteristic. The inner
characteristic is used by the out-of-step tripping function: beyond the inner characteristic out-of-step trip action is defi-
nite (the actual trip may be delayed as per the TRIP MODE setting). Therefore, this angle must be selected in consider-
ation to the power swing angle beyond which the system becomes unstable and cannot recover.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 5-129


5.6 GROUPED ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

The inner characteristic is also used by the power swing blocking function in the two-step mode. In this case, set this
angle large enough so that the characteristics of the distance elements are safely enclosed by the inner characteristic.
This setting applies to mho shapes only.
POWER SWING OUTER, MIDDLE, and INNER RGT BLD: These settings specify the resistive reach of the right
blinder. The blinder applies to both Mho and Quad characteristics. Set these value high if no blinder is required for
the Mho characteristic.
POWER SWING OUTER, MIDDLE, and INNER LFT BLD: These settings specify the resistive reach of the left blinder.
Enter a positive value; the relay automatically uses a negative value. The blinder applies to both Mho and Quad
characteristics. Set this value high if no blinder is required for the Mho characteristic.
POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 1: All the coordinating timers are related to each other and should be set to detect
the fastest expected power swing and produce out-of-step tripping in a secure manner. The timers should be set in
consideration to the power swing detect characteristics, mode of power swing detect operation and mode of out-of-
step tripping. This timer defines the interval that the impedance locus must spend between the outer and inner charac-
teristics (two-step operating mode), or between the outer and middle characteristics (three-step operating mode)
before the power swing blocking signal is established. This time delay must be set shorter than the time required for
the impedance locus to travel between the two selected characteristics during the fastest expected power swing. This
setting is relevant for both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping.
POWER SWING RESET DELAY 1: This setting defines the dropout delay for the power swing blocking signal. Detec-
tion of a condition requiring a block output sets latch 1 after PICKUP DELAY 1 time. When the impedance locus leaves
the outer characteristic, timer POWER SWING RESET DELAY 1 is started. When the timer times-out the latch is reset. This
setting should be selected to give extra security for the power swing blocking action.
POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2: Controls the out-of-step tripping function in the three-step mode only. This timer
defines the interval the impedance locus must spend between the middle and inner characteristics before the second

5 step of the out-of-step tripping sequence is completed. This time delay must be set shorter than the time required for
the impedance locus to travel between the two characteristics during the fastest expected power swing.
POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 3: Controls the out-of-step tripping function only. It defines the interval the imped-
ance locus must spend within the inner characteristic before the last step of the out-of-step tripping sequence is com-
pleted and the element is armed to trip. The actual moment of tripping is controlled by the TRIP MODE setting. This time
delay is provided for extra security before the out-of-step trip action is executed.
POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 4: Controls the out-of-step tripping function in Delayed trip mode only. This timer
defines the interval the impedance locus must spend outside the inner characteristic but within the outer characteristic
before the element is armed for the delayed trip. The delayed trip occurs when the impedance leaves the outer charac-
teristic. This time delay is provided for extra security and should be set considering the fastest expected power swing.
POWER SWING SEAL-IN DELAY: The out-of-step trip FlexLogic operand (POWER SWING TRIP) is sealed-in for the
specified period of time. The sealing-in is crucial in the delayed trip mode, as the original trip signal is a very short
pulse occurring when the impedance locus leaves the outer characteristic after the out-of-step sequence is completed.
POWER SWING TRIP MODE: Selection of the Early trip mode results in an instantaneous trip after the last step in
the out-of-step tripping sequence is completed. The early trip mode will stress the circuit breakers as the currents at
that moment are high (the electromotive forces of the two equivalent systems are approximately 180 apart). Selection
of the Delayed trip mode results in a trip at the moment when the impedance locus leaves the outer characteristic.
delayed trip mode will relax the operating conditions for the breakers as the currents at that moment are low. The
selection should be made considering the capability of the breakers in the system.
POWER SWING BLK: This setting specifies the FlexLogic operand used for blocking the out-of-step function only.
The power swing blocking function is operational all the time as long as the element is enabled. The blocking signal
resets the output POWER SWING TRIP operand but does not stop the out-of-step tripping sequence.

The inverse time overcurrent curves used by the time overcurrent elements are the IEEE, IEC, GE Type IAC, and I2t stan-
dard curve shapes. This allows for simplified coordination with downstream devices.
If none of these curve shapes is adequate, FlexCurves may be used to customize the inverse time curve characteristics.
The definite time curve is also an option that may be appropriate if only simple protection is required.

A time dial multiplier setting allows selection of a multiple of the base curve shape (where the time dial multiplier = 1) with
the curve shape (CURVE) setting. Unlike the electromechanical time dial equivalent, operate times are directly proportional
to the time multiplier (TD MULTIPLIER) setting value. For example, all times for a multiplier of 10 are 10 times the multiplier 1
or base curve values. Setting the multiplier to zero results in an instantaneous response to all current levels above pickup.
Time overcurrent time calculations are made with an internal energy capacity memory variable. When this variable indi-
cates that the energy capacity has reached 100%, a time overcurrent element will operate. If less than 100% energy capac-
ity is accumulated in this variable and the current falls below the dropout threshold of 97 to 98% of the pickup value, the
variable must be reduced. Two methods of this resetting operation are available: Instantaneous and Timed. The Instan-
taneous selection is intended for applications with other relays, such as most static relays, which set the energy capacity
directly to zero when the current falls below the reset threshold. The Timed selection can be used where the relay must
coordinate with electromechanical relays.

IEEE CURVES:
The IEEE time overcurrent curve shapes conform to industry standards and the IEEE C37.112-1996 curve classifications
for extremely, very, and moderately inverse. The IEEE curves are derived from the formulae:

The phase time overcurrent element can provide a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied current or
be used as a simple definite time element. The phase current input quantities may be programmed as fundamental phasor
magnitude or total waveform RMS magnitude as required by the application.
Two methods of resetting operation are available: Timed and Instantaneous (refer to the Inverse Time overcurrent
curves characteristic sub-section earlier for details on curve setup, trip times, and reset operation). When the element is
blocked, the time accumulator will reset according to the reset characteristic. For example, if the element reset characteris-
tic is set to Instantaneous and the element is blocked, the time accumulator will be cleared immediately.
The PHASE TOC1 PICKUP setting can be dynamically reduced by a voltage restraint feature (when enabled). This is accom-
plished via the multipliers (Mvr) corresponding to the phase-phase voltages of the voltage restraint characteristic curve (see
the figure below); the pickup level is calculated as Mvr times the PHASE TOC1 PICKUP setting. If the voltage restraint feature
is disabled, the pickup level always remains at the setting value.

This element is intended to apply a block signal to an overcurrent element to prevent an operation when current is flowing
in a particular direction. The direction of current flow is determined by measuring the phase angle between the current from
the phase CTs and the line-line voltage from the VTs, based on the 90 or quadrature connection. If there is a requirement
to supervise overcurrent elements for flows in opposite directions, such as can happen through a bus-tie breaker, two
phase directional elements should be programmed with opposite element characteristic angle (ECA) settings.

To increase security for three phase faults very close to the VTs used to measure the polarizing voltage, a voltage memory
feature is incorporated. This feature stores the polarizing voltage the moment before the voltage collapses, and uses it to
determine direction. The voltage memory remains valid for one second after the voltage has collapsed.
The main component of the phase directional element is the phase angle comparator with two inputs: the operating signal
(phase current) and the polarizing signal (the line voltage, shifted in the leading direction by the characteristic angle, ECA).
The following table shows the operating and polarizing signals used for phase directional control:
PHASE OPERATING POLARIZING SIGNAL Vpol
SIGNAL
ABC PHASE SEQUENCE ACB PHASE SEQUENCE
A angle of IA angle of VBC (1ECA) angle of VCB (1ECA)
B angle of IB angle of VCA (1ECA) angle of VAC 1ECA)
C angle of IC angle of VAB (1ECA) angle of VBA (1ECA)

MODE OF OPERATION:
When the function is Disabled, or the operating current is below 5% CT nominal, the element output is 0.
When the function is Enabled, the operating current is above 5% CT nominal, and the polarizing voltage is above
the PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL value, the element output is dependent on
the phase angle between the operating and polarizing signals:
The element output is logic 0 when the operating current is within polarizing voltage 90.
For all other angles, the element output is logic 1.
Once the voltage memory has expired, the phase overcurrent elements under directional control can be set to block or
trip on overcurrent as follows:
When BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP is set to Yes, the directional element will block the operation of any phase
overcurrent element under directional control when voltage memory expires.
5
When BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP is set to No, the directional element allows tripping of phase overcurrent elements
under directional control when voltage memory expires.
In all cases, directional blocking will be permitted to resume when the polarizing voltage becomes greater than the polariz-
ing voltage threshold.
SETTINGS:
PHASE DIR 1 SIGNAL SOURCE: This setting is used to select the source for the operating and polarizing signals.
The operating current for the phase directional element is the phase current for the selected current source. The polar-
izing voltage is the line voltage from the phase VTs, based on the 90 or quadrature connection and shifted in the
leading direction by the element characteristic angle (ECA).
PHASE DIR 1 ECA: This setting is used to select the element characteristic angle, i.e. the angle by which the polariz-
ing voltage is shifted in the leading direction to achieve dependable operation. In the design of the UR-series elements,
a block is applied to an element by asserting logic 1 at the blocking input. This element should be programmed via the
ECA setting so that the output is logic 1 for current in the non-tripping direction.
PHASE DIR 1 POL V THRESHOLD: This setting is used to establish the minimum level of voltage for which the phase
angle measurement is reliable. The setting is based on VT accuracy. The default value is 0.700 pu.
PHASE DIR 1 BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP: This setting is used to select the required operation upon expiration of
voltage memory. When set to "Yes", the directional element blocks the operation of any phase overcurrent element
under directional control, when voltage memory expires; when set to "No", the directional element allows tripping of
phase overcurrent elements under directional control.
The phase directional element responds to the forward load current. In the case of a following reverse fault,
the element needs some time in the order of 8 ms to establish a blocking signal. Some protection ele-
NOTE
ments such as instantaneous overcurrent may respond to reverse faults before the blocking signal is
established. Therefore, a coordination time of at least 10 ms must be added to all the instantaneous protec-
tion elements under the supervision of the phase directional element. If current reversal is of a concern, a
longer delay in the order of 20 ms may be needed.

The neutral instantaneous overcurrent element may be used as an instantaneous function with no intentional delay or as a
definite time function. The element essentially responds to the magnitude of a neutral current fundamental frequency pha-
5 sor calculated from the phase currents. A positive-sequence restraint is applied for better performance. A small portion
(6.25%) of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the zero-sequence current magnitude when forming
the operating quantity of the element as follows:
I op = 3 ( I_0 K I_1 ) where K = 1 16 (EQ 5.15)

The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence currents
resulting from:
System unbalances under heavy load conditions
Transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during double-line and three-phase faults.
Switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults.
The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pickup accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on how test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase injection:
I op = 0.9375 I injected ; three-phase pure zero-sequence injection: I op = 3 I injected ).

The neutral directional overcurrent element provides both forward and reverse fault direction indications the NEUTRAL DIR
OC1 FWD and NEUTRAL DIR OC1 REV operands, respectively. The output operand is asserted if the magnitude of the oper-
ating current is above a pickup level (overcurrent unit) and the fault direction is seen as forward or reverse, respectively
(directional unit).
The overcurrent unit responds to the magnitude of a fundamental frequency phasor of the either the neutral current calcu-
lated from the phase currents or the ground current. There are separate pickup settings for the forward-looking and
reverse-looking functions. If set to use the calculated 3I_0, the element applies a positive-sequence restraint for better per-
formance: a small user-programmable portion of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the zero-
sequence current magnitude when forming the operating quantity.
I op = 3 ( I_0 K I_1 ) (EQ 5.16)

The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence currents
resulting from:
System unbalances under heavy load conditions.

Transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during double-line and three-phase faults.
Switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults.
The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pickup accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase injection:
Iop = (1 K) Iinjected ; three-phase pure zero-sequence injection: Iop = 3 Iinjected).
The positive-sequence restraint is removed for low currents. If the positive-sequence current is below 0.8 pu, the restraint is
removed by changing the constant K to zero. This facilitates better response to high-resistance faults when the unbalance
is very small and there is no danger of excessive CT errors as the current is low.
The directional unit uses the zero-sequence current (I_0) or ground current (IG) for fault direction discrimination and may
be programmed to use either zero-sequence voltage (Calculated V0 or Measured VX), ground current (IG), or both for
polarizing. The following tables define the neutral directional overcurrent element.

When NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POL VOLT is set to Measured VX, one-third of this voltage is used in place of V_0. The following
figure explains the usage of the voltage polarized directional unit of the element.
The figure below shows the voltage-polarized phase angle comparator characteristics for a phase A to ground fault, with:
ECA = 90 (element characteristic angle = centerline of operating characteristic)
FWD LA = 80 (forward limit angle = the angular limit with the ECA for operation)
REV LA = 80 (reverse limit angle = the angular limit with the ECA for operation)
The element incorporates a current reversal logic: if the reverse direction is indicated for at least 1.25 of a power system
cycle, the prospective forward indication will be delayed by 1.5 of a power system cycle. The element is designed to emu-
late an electromechanical directional device. Larger operating and polarizing signals will result in faster directional discrimi-
nation bringing more security to the element operation.

The forward-looking function is designed to be more secure as compared to the reverse-looking function, and therefore,
should be used for the tripping direction. The reverse-looking function is designed to be faster as compared to the forward-
looking function and should be used for the blocking direction. This allows for better protection coordination.
The above bias should be taken into account when using the neutral directional overcurrent element to directionalize other
protection elements.

Figure 579: NEUTRAL DIRECTIONAL VOLTAGE-POLARIZED CHARACTERISTICS


NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POLARIZING: This setting selects the polarizing mode for the directional unit.
If Voltage polarizing is selected, the element uses the zero-sequence voltage angle for polarization. The user
can use either the zero-sequence voltage V_0 calculated from the phase voltages, or the zero-sequence voltage
supplied externally as the auxiliary voltage V_X, both from the NEUTRAL DIR OC1 SOURCE.
The calculated V_0 can be used as polarizing voltage only if the voltage transformers are connected in Wye. The
auxiliary voltage can be used as the polarizing voltage provided SYSTEM SETUP AC INPUTS VOLTAGE BANK
AUXILIARY VT CONNECTION is set to Vn and the auxiliary voltage is connected to a zero-sequence voltage
source (such as open delta connected secondary of VTs).
The zero-sequence (V_0) or auxiliary voltage (V_X), accordingly, must be greater than 0.02 pu to be validated for
use as a polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is invalid, neither forward nor reverse indication is given.
If Current polarizing is selected, the element uses the ground current angle connected externally and configured
under NEUTRAL OC1 SOURCE for polarization. The ground CT must be connected between the ground and neutral
point of an adequate local source of ground current. The ground current must be greater than 0.05 pu to be vali-
dated as a polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is not valid, neither forward nor reverse indication is given. In
addition, the zero-sequence current (I_0) must be greater than the PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES
CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL setting value.

For a choice of current polarizing, it is recommended that the polarizing signal be analyzed to ensure that a known
direction is maintained irrespective of the fault location. For example, if using an autotransformer neutral current
as a polarizing source, it should be ensured that a reversal of the ground current does not occur for a high-side
fault. The low-side system impedance should be assumed minimal when checking for this condition. A similar sit-
uation arises for a wye/delta/wye transformer, where current in one transformer winding neutral may reverse when
faults on both sides of the transformer are considered.

direction is confirmed if either voltage or current comparators indicate so. If a conflicting (simultaneous forward
and reverse) indication occurs, the forward direction overrides the reverse direction.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POL VOLT: Selects the polarizing voltage used by the directional unit when "Voltage" or "Dual"
polarizing mode is set. The polarizing voltage can be programmed to be either the zero-sequence voltage calculated
from the phase voltages ("Calculated V0") or supplied externally as an auxiliary voltage ("Measured VX").
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 OP CURR: This setting indicates whether the 3I_0 current calculated from the phase currents, or
the ground current shall be used by this protection. This setting acts as a switch between the neutral and ground
modes of operation (67N and 67G). If set to Calculated 3I0 the element uses the phase currents and applies the pos-
itive-sequence restraint; if set to Measured IG the element uses ground current supplied to the ground CT of the CT
bank configured as NEUTRAL DIR OC1 SOURCE. If this setting is Measured IG, then the NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POLARIZING
setting must be Voltage, as it is not possible to use the ground current as an operating and polarizing signal simulta-
neously.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POS-SEQ RESTRAINT: This setting controls the amount of the positive-sequence restraint. Set
to 0.063 for backward compatibility with firmware revision 3.40 and older. Set to zero to remove the restraint. Set
higher if large system unbalances or poor CT performance are expected.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 OFFSET: This setting specifies the offset impedance used by this protection. The primary appli-
cation for the offset impedance is to guarantee correct identification of fault direction on series compensated lines. In
regular applications, the offset impedance ensures proper operation even if the zero-sequence voltage at the relaying
point is very small. If this is the intent, the offset impedance shall not be larger than the zero-sequence impedance of
the protected circuit. Practically, it shall be several times smaller. The offset impedance shall be entered in secondary
ohms.
See chapter 8 for additional details and chapter 9 for information on how to calculate this setting

5 NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD ECA: This setting defines the characteristic angle (ECA) for the forward direction in the
"Voltage" polarizing mode. The "Current" polarizing mode uses a fixed ECA of 0. The ECA in the reverse direction is
the angle set for the forward direction shifted by 180.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit
angle for the forward direction.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD PICKUP: This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit of the element in the
forward direction. When selecting this setting it must be kept in mind that the design uses a positive-sequence
restraint technique for the Calculated 3I0 mode of operation.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 REV LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit
angle for the reverse direction.
NEUTRAL DIR OC1 REV PICKUP: This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit of the element in the
reverse direction. When selecting this setting it must be kept in mind that the design uses a positive-sequence restraint
technique for the Calculated 3I0 mode of operation.

This element can provide a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied current or be used as a simple
definite time element. The ground current input value is the quantity measured by the ground input CT and is the funda-
mental phasor or RMS magnitude. Two methods of resetting operation are available: Timed and Instantaneous (refer to
the Inverse time overcurrent curve characteristics section for details). When the element is blocked, the time accumulator
will reset according to the reset characteristic. For example, if the element reset characteristic is set to Instantaneous and
the element is blocked, the time accumulator will be cleared immediately.
These elements measure the current that is connected to the ground channel of a CT/VT module. The conversion
range of a standard channel is from 0.02 to 46 times the CT rating.

The negative-sequence time overcurrent element may be used to determine and clear unbalance in the system. The input
for calculating negative-sequence current is the fundamental phasor value.
Two methods of resetting operation are available; Timed and Instantaneous (refer to the Inverse Time Overcurrent Char-

The negative-sequence instantaneous overcurrent element may be used as an instantaneous function with no intentional
delay or as a definite time function. The element responds to the negative-sequence current fundamental frequency phasor
5 magnitude (calculated from the phase currents) and applies a positive-sequence restraint for better performance: a small
portion (12.5%) of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the negative-sequence current magnitude
when forming the operating quantity:
I op = I_2 K I_1 where K = 1 8 (EQ 5.17)

The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious negative-sequence cur-
rents resulting from:
system unbalances under heavy load conditions
transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during three-phase faults
fault inception and switch-off transients during three-phase faults
The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pickup accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase injection:
I op = 0.2917 I injected ; three-phase injection, opposite rotation: I op = I injected ).

There are two negative-sequence directional overcurrent protection elements available. The element provides both forward
and reverse fault direction indications through its output operands NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD and NEG SEQ DIR OC1 REV,
respectively. The output operand is asserted if the magnitude of the operating current is above a pickup level (overcurrent
unit) and the fault direction is seen as forward or reverse, respectively (directional unit).
The overcurrent unit of the element essentially responds to the magnitude of a fundamental frequency phasor of either
the negative-sequence or zero-sequence current as per user selection. The zero-sequence current should not be mistaken
with the neutral current (factor 3 difference).
A positive-sequence restraint is applied for better performance: a small user-programmable portion of the positive-
sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the negative or zero-sequence current magnitude, respectively, when form-
ing the element operating quantity.
I op = I_2 K I_1 or I op = 3 I_0 K I_1 (EQ 5.18)

The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious negative-sequence and
zero-sequence currents resulting from:
System unbalances under heavy load conditions.
Transformation errors of current transformers (CTs).
Fault inception and switch-off transients.

5.6 GROUPED ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pick-up accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay:
Single-phase injection: Iop = 1/3 (1 K) Iinjected.
Three-phase pure zero- or negative-sequence injection, respectively: Iop = Iinjected.
The directional unit uses the negative-sequence current and voltage for fault direction discrimination.
The following table defines the negative-sequence directional overcurrent element.
OVERCURRENT UNIT DIRECTIONAL UNIT
MODE OPERATING CURRENT DIRECTION COMPARED PHASORS
Negative-sequence Iop = |I_2| K I_1| Forward V_2 + Z_offset I_2 I_2 1ECA
Reverse V_2 + Z_offset I_2 (I_2 1ECA)
Zero-sequence Iop = 3 |I_0| K |I_1| Forward V_2 + Z_offset I_2 I_2 1ECA
Reverse V_2 + Z_offset I_2 (I_2 1ECA)

The negative-sequence voltage must be greater than 0.02 pu to be validated for use as a polarizing signal. If the polarizing
signal is not validated neither forward nor reverse indication is given. The following figure explains the usage of the voltage
polarized directional unit of the element.
The figure below shows the phase angle comparator characteristics for a phase A to ground fault, with settings of:
ECA = 75 (element characteristic angle = centerline of operating characteristic)
FWD LA = 80 (forward limit angle = the angular limit with the ECA for operation)
REV LA = 80 (reverse limit angle = the angular limit with the ECA for operation)
The element incorporates a current reversal logic: if the reverse direction is indicated for at least 1.25 of a power system
5 cycle, the prospective forward indication will be delayed by 1.5 of a power system cycle. The element is designed to emu-
late an electromechanical directional device. Larger operating and polarizing signals will result in faster directional discrimi-
nation bringing more security to the element operation.

The forward-looking function is designed to be more secure as compared to the reverse-looking function, and therefore
should be used for the tripping direction. The reverse-looking function is designed to be faster as compared to the forward-
looking function and should be used for the blocking direction. This allows for better protection coordination. The above

bias should be taken into account when using the negative-sequence directional overcurrent element to directionalize other
protection elements. The negative-sequence directional pickup must be greater than the PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY
PROPERTIES CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL setting value.

NEG SEQ DIR OC1 OFFSET: This setting specifies the offset impedance used by this protection. The primary applica-
tion for the offset impedance is to guarantee correct identification of fault direction on series compensated lines (see
the Application of settings chapter for information on how to calculate this setting). In regular applications, the offset
impedance ensures proper operation even if the negative-sequence voltage at the relaying point is very small. If this is
the intent, the offset impedance shall not be larger than the negative-sequence impedance of the protected circuit.
Practically, it shall be several times smaller. The offset impedance shall be entered in secondary ohms. See the Theory
of operation chapter for additional details.
NEG SEQ DIR OC1 TYPE: This setting selects the operating mode for the overcurrent unit of the element. The
choices are Neg Sequence and Zero Sequence. In some applications it is advantageous to use a directional nega-
tive-sequence overcurrent function instead of a directional zero-sequence overcurrent function as inter-circuit mutual
effects are minimized.
NEG SEQ DIR OC1 POS-SEQ RESTRAINT: This setting controls the positive-sequence restraint. Set to 0.063 (in
Zero Sequence mode) or 0.125 (in Neg Sequence mode) for backward compatibility with revisions 3.40 and earlier.
Set to zero to remove the restraint. Set higher if large system unbalances or poor CT performance are expected.
NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD ECA: This setting select the element characteristic angle (ECA) for the forward direction.
The element characteristic angle in the reverse direction is the angle set for the forward direction shifted by 180.
NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit
angle for the forward direction.
NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD PICKUP: This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit in the forward direc-

These protection elements can be used for a variety of applications such as:
Undervoltage Protection: For voltage sensitive loads, such as induction motors, a drop in voltage increases the
drawn current which may cause dangerous overheating in the motor. The undervoltage protection feature can be used
to either cause a trip or generate an alarm when the voltage drops below a specified voltage setting for a specified time
delay.
Permissive Functions: The undervoltage feature may be used to block the functioning of external devices by operat-
ing an output relay when the voltage falls below the specified voltage setting. The undervoltage feature may also be
used to block the functioning of other elements through the block feature of those elements.
Source Transfer Schemes: In the event of an undervoltage, a transfer signal may be generated to transfer a load
from its normal source to a standby or emergency power source.
The undervoltage elements can be programmed to have a definite time delay characteristic. The definite time curve oper-
ates when the voltage drops below the pickup level for a specified period of time. The time delay is adjustable from 0 to
600.00 seconds in steps of 0.01. The undervoltage elements can also be programmed to have an inverse time delay char-
acteristic.

This element may be used to give a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied fundamental voltage
(phase-to-ground or phase-to-phase for wye VT connection, or phase-to-phase for delta VT connection) or as a definite

5 There are three neutral overvoltage elements available. The neutral overvoltage element can be used to detect asymmetri-
cal system voltage condition due to a ground fault or to the loss of one or two phases of the source. The element responds
to the system neutral voltage (3V_0), calculated from the phase voltages. The nominal secondary voltage of the phase volt-
age channels entered under SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP AC INPUTS VOLTAGE BANK PHASE VT SECONDARY is the
p.u. base used when setting the pickup level.
The neutral overvoltage element can provide a time-delayed operating characteristic versus the applied voltage (initialized
from FlexCurves A, B, or C) or be used as a definite time element. The NEUTRAL OV1 PICKUP DELAY setting applies only if
the NEUTRAL OV1 CURVE setting is Definite time. The source assigned to this element must be configured for a phase VT.
VT errors and normal voltage unbalance must be considered when setting this element. This function requires the VTs to
be wye-connected.

The trip bus element allows aggregating outputs of protection and control elements without using FlexLogic and assign-
ing them a simple and effective manner. Each trip bus can be assigned for either trip or alarm actions. Simple trip condition-
ing such as latch, delay, and seal-in delay are available.
The easiest way to assign element outputs to a trip bus is through the EnerVista UR Setup software A protection summary
is displayed by navigating to a specific protection or control protection element and checking the desired bus box. Once the
desired element is selected for a specific bus, a list of element operate-type operands are displayed and can be assigned
to a trip bus. If more than one operate-type operand is required, it may be assigned directly from the trip bus menu.

TRIP BUS 1 LATCHING: This setting enables or disables latching of the trip bus output. This is typically used when
lockout is required or user acknowledgement of the relay response is required.
TRIP BUS 1 RESET: The trip bus output is reset when the operand assigned to this setting is asserted. Note that the
RESET OP operand is pre-wired to the reset gate of the latch, As such, a reset command the front panel interface or via
communications will reset the trip bus output.

The setting groups menu controls the activation and deactivation of up to six possible groups of settings in the GROUPED
ELEMENTS settings menu. The faceplate Settings In Use LEDs indicate which active group (with a non-flashing energized
LED) is in service.
The SETTING GROUPS BLK setting prevents the active setting group from changing when the FlexLogic parameter is set to
"On". This can be useful in applications where it is undesirable to change the settings under certain conditions, such as the
breaker being open.
The GROUP 2 ACTIVATE ON to GROUP 6 ACTIVATE ON settings select a FlexLogic operand which, when set, will make the
particular setting group active for use by any grouped element. A priority scheme ensures that only one group is active at a
given time the highest-numbered group which is activated by its ACTIVATE ON parameter takes priority over the lower-
numbered groups. There is no activate on setting for group 1 (the default active group), because group 1 automatically
becomes active if no other group is active.
The SETTING GROUP 1 NAME to SETTING GROUP 6 NAME settings allows to user to assign a name to each of the six settings
groups. Once programmed, this name will appear on the second line of the GROUPED ELEMENTS SETTING GROUP 1(6)
menu display.
The relay can be set up via a FlexLogic equation to receive requests to activate or de-activate a particular non-default
settings group. The following FlexLogic equation (see the figure below) illustrates requests via remote communications
(for example, VIRTUAL INPUT 1 ON) or from a local contact input (for example, CONTACT IP 1 ON) to initiate the use of a par-
ticular settings group, and requests from several overcurrent pickup measuring elements to inhibit the use of the particular
settings group. The assigned VIRTUAL OUTPUT 1 operand is used to control the On state of a particular settings group.

5.7 CONTROL ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

The selector switch element is intended to replace a mechanical selector switch. Typical applications include setting group
control or control of multiple logic sub-circuits in user-programmable logic.
The element provides for two control inputs. The step-up control allows stepping through selector position one step at a
time with each pulse of the control input, such as a user-programmable pushbutton. The three-bit control input allows set-
ting the selector to the position defined by a three-bit word.
The element allows pre-selecting a new position without applying it. The pre-selected position gets applied either after time-
out or upon acknowledgement via separate inputs (user setting). The selector position is stored in non-volatile memory.
Upon power-up, either the previous position is restored or the relay synchronizes to the current three-bit word (user set-
ting). Basic alarm functionality alerts the user under abnormal conditions; for example, the three-bit control input being out
of range.
SELECTOR 1 FULL RANGE: This setting defines the upper position of the selector. When stepping up through avail-
able positions of the selector, the upper position wraps up to the lower position (position 1). When using a direct three-
bit control word for programming the selector to a desired position, the change would take place only if the control word
is within the range of 1 to the SELECTOR FULL RANGE. If the control word is outside the range, an alarm is established
by setting the SELECTOR ALARM FlexLogic operand for 3 seconds.
SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT: This setting defines the time-out period for the selector. This value is used by the relay in
the following two ways. When the SELECTOR STEP-UP MODE is Time-out, the setting specifies the required period of
inactivity of the control input after which the pre-selected position is automatically applied. When the SELECTOR STEP-
UP MODE is Acknowledge, the setting specifies the period of time for the acknowledging input to appear. The timer is
re-started by any activity of the control input. The acknowledging input must come before the SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT
timer expires; otherwise, the change will not take place and an alarm will be set.
SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP: This setting specifies a control input for the selector switch. The switch is shifted to a new
position at each rising edge of this signal. The position changes incrementally, wrapping up from the last (SELECTOR 1

5 FULL RANGE) to the first (position 1). Consecutive pulses of this control operand must not occur faster than every
50 ms. After each rising edge of the assigned operand, the time-out timer is restarted and the SELECTOR SWITCH 1:
POS Z CHNG INITIATED target message is displayed, where Z the pre-selected position. The message is displayed for
the time specified by the FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting. The pre-selected position is applied after the selector times out
(Time-out mode), or when the acknowledging signal appears before the element times out (Acknowledge mode).
When the new position is applied, the relay displays the SELECTOR SWITCH 1: POSITION Z IN USE message. Typically,
a user-programmable pushbutton is configured as the stepping up control input.
SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP MODE: This setting defines the selector mode of operation. When set to Time-out, the
selector will change its position after a pre-defined period of inactivity at the control input. The change is automatic and
does not require any explicit confirmation of the intent to change the selector's position. When set to Acknowledge,
the selector will change its position only after the intent is confirmed through a separate acknowledging signal. If the
acknowledging signal does not appear within a pre-defined period of time, the selector does not accept the change
and an alarm is established by setting the SELECTOR STP ALARM output FlexLogic operand for 3 seconds.
SELECTOR 1 ACK: This setting specifies an acknowledging input for the stepping up control input. The pre-selected
position is applied on the rising edge of the assigned operand. This setting is active only under Acknowledge mode of
operation. The acknowledging signal must appear within the time defined by the SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT setting after the
last activity of the control input. A user-programmable pushbutton is typically configured as the acknowledging input.
SELECTOR 1 3BIT A0, A1, and A2: These settings specify a three-bit control input of the selector. The three-bit con-
trol word pre-selects the position using the following encoding convention:

A2 A1 A0 POSITION
0 0 0 rest
0 0 1 1
0 1 0 2
0 1 1 3
1 0 0 4
1 0 1 5
1 1 0 6
1 1 1 7

5-174 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.7 CONTROL ELEMENTS

The rest position (0, 0, 0) does not generate an action and is intended for situations when the device generating the
three-bit control word is having a problem. When SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE is Time-out, the pre-selected position is
applied in SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT seconds after the last activity of the three-bit input. When SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE is
Acknowledge, the pre-selected position is applied on the rising edge of the SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK acknowledging
input.
The stepping up control input (SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP) and the three-bit control inputs (SELECTOR 1 3BIT A0 through A2)
lock-out mutually: once the stepping up sequence is initiated, the three-bit control input is inactive; once the three-bit
control sequence is initiated, the stepping up input is inactive.
SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE: This setting defines the selector mode of operation. When set to Time-out, the selector
changes its position after a pre-defined period of inactivity at the control input. The change is automatic and does not
require explicit confirmation to change the selector position. When set to Acknowledge, the selector changes its posi-
tion only after confirmation via a separate acknowledging signal. If the acknowledging signal does not appear within a
pre-defined period of time, the selector rejects the change and an alarm established by invoking the SELECTOR BIT
ALARM FlexLogic operand for 3 seconds.

SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK: This setting specifies an acknowledging input for the three-bit control input. The pre-
selected position is applied on the rising edge of the assigned FlexLogic operand. This setting is active only under
the Acknowledge mode of operation. The acknowledging signal must appear within the time defined by the SELEC-
TOR TIME-OUT setting after the last activity of the three-bit control inputs. Note that the stepping up control input and
three-bit control input have independent acknowledging signals (SELECTOR 1 ACK and SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK, accord-
ingly).
SELECTOR 1 POWER-UP MODE: This setting specifies the element behavior on power up of the relay.
When set to Restore, the last position of the selector (stored in the non-volatile memory) is restored after powering up
the relay. If the position restored from memory is out of range, position 0 (no output operand selected) is applied and
an alarm is set (SELECTOR 1 PWR ALARM).
5
When set to Synchronize selector switch acts as follows. For two power cycles, the selector applies position 0 to the
switch and activates SELECTOR 1 PWR ALARM. After two power cycles expire, the selector synchronizes to the position
dictated by the three-bit control input. This operation does not wait for time-out or the acknowledging input. When the
synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (that is, the three-bit input is not available (0,0,0) or out of range) then the
selector switch output is set to position 0 (no output operand selected) and an alarm is established (SELECTOR 1 PWR
ALARM).

The operation of Synch/Restore mode is similar to the Synchronize mode. The only difference is that after an
unsuccessful synchronization attempt, the switch will attempt to restore the position stored in the relay memory. The
Synch/Restore mode is useful for applications where the selector switch is employed to change the setting group in
redundant (two relay) protection schemes.
SELECTOR 1 EVENTS: If enabled, the following events are logged:

EVENT NAME DESCRIPTION


SELECTOR 1 POS Z Selector 1 changed its position to Z.
SELECTOR 1 STP ALARM The selector position pre-selected via the stepping up control input has not been
confirmed before the time out.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE
Consider an application where the selector switch is used to control setting groups 1 through 4 in the relay. The setting
groups are to be controlled from both user-programmable pushbutton 1 and from an external device via contact inputs 1
through 3. The active setting group shall be available as an encoded three-bit word to the external device and SCADA via
output contacts 1 through 3. The pre-selected setting group shall be applied automatically after 5 seconds of inactivity of
the control inputs. When the relay powers up, it should synchronize the setting group to the three-bit control input.
Make the following changes to setting group control in the SETTINGS CONTROL ELEMENTS SETTING GROUPS menu:
SETTING GROUPS FUNCTION: Enabled GROUP 4 ACTIVATE ON: SELECTOR 1 POS 4"
SETTING GROUPS BLK: Off GROUP 5 ACTIVATE ON: Off
GROUP 2 ACTIVATE ON: SELECTOR 1 POS 2" GROUP 6 ACTIVATE ON: Off
GROUP 3 ACTIVATE ON: SELECTOR 1 POS 3"
Make the following changes to selector switch element in the SETTINGS CONTROL ELEMENTS SELECTOR SWITCH
SELECTOR SWITCH 1 menu to assign control to user programmable pushbutton 1 and contact inputs 1 through 3:

The are two identical synchrocheck elements available, numbered 1 and 2.


The synchronism check function is intended for supervising the paralleling of two parts of a system which are to be joined
by the closure of a circuit breaker. The synchrocheck elements are typically used at locations where the two parts of the
system are interconnected through at least one other point in the system.
Synchrocheck verifies that the voltages (V1 and V2) on the two sides of the supervised circuit breaker are within set limits
of magnitude, angle and frequency differences. The time that the two voltages remain within the admissible angle differ-
ence is determined by the setting of the phase angle difference and the frequency difference F (slip frequency). It can
be defined as the time it would take the voltage phasor V1 or V2 to traverse an angle equal to 2 at a frequency equal
to the frequency difference F. This time can be calculated by:
1
T = -------------------------------
- (EQ 5.20)
360
------------------ F
2
where: = phase angle difference in degrees; F = frequency difference in Hz.

If one or both sources are de-energized, the synchrocheck programming can allow for closing of the circuit breaker using
undervoltage control to by-pass the synchrocheck measurements (dead source function).
SYNCHK1 V1 SOURCE: This setting selects the source for voltage V1 (see NOTES below).
SYNCHK1 V2 SOURCE: This setting selects the source for voltage V2, which must not be the same as used for the
V1 (see NOTES below).
SYNCHK1 MAX VOLT DIFF: This setting selects the maximum primary voltage difference in volts between the two
sources. A primary voltage magnitude difference between the two input voltages below this value is within the permis-
sible limit for synchronism.
SYNCHK1 MAX ANGLE DIFF: This setting selects the maximum angular difference in degrees between the two
sources. An angular difference between the two input voltage phasors below this value is within the permissible limit
for synchronism.
SYNCHK1 MAX FREQ DIFF: This setting selects the maximum frequency difference in Hz between the two sources.
A frequency difference between the two input voltage systems below this value is within the permissible limit for syn-
chronism.
SYNCHK1 MAX FREQ HYSTERESIS: This setting specifies the required hysteresis for the maximum frequency differ-
ence condition. The condition becomes satisfied when the frequency difference becomes lower than SYNCHK1 MAX
FREQ DIFF. Once the Synchrocheck element has operated, the frequency difference must increase above the SYNCHK1
MAX FREQ DIFF + SYNCHK1 MAX FREQ HYSTERESIS sum to drop out (assuming the other two conditions, voltage and
angle, remain satisfied).
SYNCHK1 DEAD SOURCE SELECT: This setting selects the combination of dead and live sources that will by-pass
synchronism check function and permit the breaker to be closed when one or both of the two voltages (V1 or/and V2)
are below the maximum voltage threshold. A dead or live source is declared by monitoring the voltage level. Six
options are available:
5 None: Dead Source function is disabled
LV1 and DV2: Live V1 and Dead V2
DV1 and LV2: Dead V1 and Live V2
DV1 or DV2: Dead V1 or Dead V2
DV1 Xor DV2: Dead V1 exclusive-or Dead V2 (one source is Dead and the other is Live)
DV1 and DV2: Dead V1 and Dead V2
SYNCHK1 DEAD V1 MAX VOLT: This setting establishes a maximum voltage magnitude for V1 in 1 pu. Below this
magnitude, the V1 voltage input used for synchrocheck will be considered Dead or de-energized.
SYNCHK1 DEAD V2 MAX VOLT: This setting establishes a maximum voltage magnitude for V2 in pu. Below this
magnitude, the V2 voltage input used for synchrocheck will be considered Dead or de-energized.
SYNCHK1 LIVE V1 MIN VOLT: This setting establishes a minimum voltage magnitude for V1 in pu. Above this mag-
nitude, the V1 voltage input used for synchrocheck will be considered Live or energized.
SYNCHK1 LIVE V2 MIN VOLT: This setting establishes a minimum voltage magnitude for V2 in pu. Above this mag-
nitude, the V2 voltage input used for synchrocheck will be considered Live or energized.
NOTES ON THE SYNCHROCHECK FUNCTION:
1. The selected sources for synchrocheck inputs V1 and V2 (which must not be the same source) may include both a
three-phase and an auxiliary voltage. The relay will automatically select the specific voltages to be used by the synch-
rocheck element in accordance with the following table.

5 Auxiliary VT Auxiliary VT Auxiliary Auxiliary V auxiliary

The voltages V1 and V2 will be matched automatically so that the corresponding voltages from the two sources will be
used to measure conditions. A phase to phase voltage will be used if available in both sources; if one or both of the
Sources have only an auxiliary voltage, this voltage will be used. For example, if an auxiliary voltage is programmed to
VAG, the synchrocheck element will automatically select VAG from the other source. If the comparison is required on a
specific voltage, the user can externally connect that specific voltage to auxiliary voltage terminals and then use this
"Auxiliary Voltage" to check the synchronism conditions.
If using a single CT/VT module with both phase voltages and an auxiliary voltage, ensure that only the auxiliary voltage
is programmed in one of the sources to be used for synchrocheck.
Exception: Synchronism cannot be checked between Delta connected phase VTs and a Wye con-
nected auxiliary voltage.
NOTE

2. The relay measures frequency and Volts/Hz from an input on a given source with priorities as established by the con-
figuration of input channels to the source. The relay will use the phase channel of a three-phase set of voltages if pro-
grammed as part of that source. The relay will use the auxiliary voltage channel only if that channel is programmed as
part of the Source and a three-phase set is not.

The maximum number of autoreclosure elements available is equal to the number of installed CT banks.
The autoreclosure feature is intended for use with transmission and distribution lines, in three-pole tripping schemes for sin-
gle breaker applications. Up to four selectable reclosures shots are possible prior to locking out. Each shot has an inde-
pendently settable dead time. The protection settings can be changed between shots if so desired, using FlexLogic.
Logic inputs are available for disabling or blocking the scheme.
Faceplate panel LEDs indicate the state of the autoreclose scheme as follows:
Reclose Enabled: The scheme is enabled and may reclose if initiated.
Reclose Disabled: The scheme is disabled.
Reclose In Progress: An autoreclosure has been initiated but the breaker has not yet been signaled to close.
Reclose Locked Out: The scheme has generated the maximum number of breaker closures allowed and, as the fault
5 persists, will not close the breaker again; known as Lockout. The scheme may also be sent in Lockout when the
incomplete sequence timer times out or when a block signal occurs while in reclose in progress. The scheme must be
reset from Lockout in order to perform reclose for further faults.
The reclosure scheme is considered enabled when all of the following conditions are true:
The AR1 FUNCTION is set to Enabled.
The scheme is not in the Lockout state.
The Block input is not asserted.
The AR1 BLK TIME UPON MNL CLS timer is not active.
The autoreclose scheme is initiated by a trip signal from any selected protection feature operand. The scheme is initiated
provided the circuit breaker is in the closed state before protection operation.
The reclose-in-progress (RIP) is set when a reclosing cycle begins following a reclose initiate signal. Once the cycle is suc-
cessfully initiated, the RIP signal will seal-in and the scheme will continue through its sequence until one of the following
conditions is satisfied:
The close signal is issued when the dead timer times out, or
The scheme goes to lockout.
While RIP is active, the scheme checks that the breaker is open and the shot number is below the limit, and then begins
measuring the dead time.
Each of the four possible shots has an independently settable dead time. Two additional timers can be used to increase the
initial set dead times 1 to 4 by a delay equal to AR1 DELAY 1 or AR1 DELAY 2 or the sum of these two delays depending on the
selected settings. This offers enhanced setting flexibility using FlexLogic operands to turn the two additional timers on
and off. These operands may possibly include AR1 SHOT CNT =n, SETTING GROUP ACT 1, etc. The autoreclose provides
up to maximum 4 selectable shots. Maximum number of shots can be dynamically modified through the settings AR1
REDUCE MAX TO 1 (2, 3), using the appropriate FlexLogic operand.

Scheme lockout blocks all phases of the reclosing cycle, preventing automatic reclosure, if any of the following occurs:
The maximum shot number was reached.
A Block input is in effect (for instance; Breaker Failure, bus differential protection operated, etc.).

5 SETTINGS 5.7 CONTROL ELEMENTS

The Incomplete Sequence timer times out.


The recloser will be latched in the Lockout state until a reset from lockout signal is asserted, either from a manual close of
the breaker or from a manual reset command (local or remote). The reset from lockout can be accomplished by operator
command, by manually closing the breaker, or whenever the breaker has been closed and stays closed for a preset time.
After the dead time elapses, the scheme issues the close signal. The close signal is latched until the breaker closes or the
scheme goes to Lockout.
A reset timer output resets the recloser following a successful reclosure sequence. The reset time is based on the breaker
reclaim time which is the minimum time required between successive reclose sequences.
SETTINGS:
AR1 INITIATE: Selects the FlexLogic operand that initiates the scheme, typically the trip signal from protection.
AR1 BLOCK: Selects the FlexLogic operand that blocks the autoreclosure initiate (it could be from the breaker fail-
ure, bus differential protection, etc.).
AR1 MAX NUMBER OF SHOTS: Specifies the number of reclosures that can be attempted before reclosure goes to
Lockout because the fault is permanent.
AR1 REDUCE MAX TO 1(3): Selects the FlexLogic operand that changes the maximum number of shots from the
initial setting to 1, 2, or 3, respectively.
AR1 MANUAL CLOSE: Selects the logic input set when the breaker is manually closed.
AR1 MNL RST FRM LO: Selects the FlexLogic operand that resets the autoreclosure from Lockout condition. Typi-
cally this is a manual reset from lockout, local or remote.
AR1 RESET LOCKOUT IF BREAKER CLOSED: This setting allows the autoreclose scheme to reset from Lockout if
the breaker has been manually closed and stays closed for a preset time. In order for this setting to be effective, the
next setting (AR1 RESET LOCKOUT ON MANUAL CLOSE) should be disabled. 5
AR1 RESET LOCKOUT ON MANUAL CLOSE: This setting allows the autoreclose scheme to reset from Lockout
when the breaker is manually closed regardless if the breaker remains closed or not. This setting overrides the previ-
ous setting (AR1 RESET LOCKOUT IF BREAKER CLOSED).
AR1 BLK TIME UPON MNL CLS: The autoreclose scheme can be disabled for a programmable time delay after the
associated circuit breaker is manually closed. This prevents reclosing onto a fault after a manual close. This delay
must be longer than the slowest expected trip from any protection not blocked after manual closing. If no overcurrent
trips occur after a manual close and this time expires, the autoreclose scheme is enabled.
AR1 DEAD TIME 1 to AR1 DEAD TIME 4: These are the intentional delays before first, second, third, and fourth
breaker automatic reclosures (1st, 2nd, and 3rd shots), respectively, and should be set longer than the estimated
deionizing time following a three pole trip.
AR1 ADD DELAY 1: This setting selects the FlexLogic operand that introduces an additional delay (Delay 1) to the
initial set Dead Time (1 to 4). When this setting is Off, Delay 1 is by-passed.
AR1 DELAY 1: This setting establishes the extent of the additional dead time Delay 1.
AR1 ADD DELAY 2: This setting selects the FlexLogic operand that introduces an additional delay (Delay 2) to the
initial set Dead Time (1 to 4). When this setting is Off, Delay 2 is by-passed.
AR1 DELAY 2: This setting establishes the extent of the additional dead time Delay 2.
AR1 RESET LOCKOUT DELAY: This setting establishes how long the breaker should stay closed after a manual
close command, in order for the autorecloser to reset from Lockout.
AR1 RESET TIME: A reset timer output resets the recloser following a successful reclosure sequence. The setting is
based on the breaker reclaim time which is the minimum time required between successive reclose sequences.
AR1 INCOMPLETE SEQ TIME: This timer defines the maximum time interval allowed for a single reclose shot. It is
started whenever a reclosure is initiated and is active when the scheme is in the reclose-in-progress state. If all condi-
tions allowing a breaker closure are not satisfied when this time expires, the scheme goes to Lockout.
This timer must be set to a delay less than the reset timer.

CIRCUIT MONITORING APPLICATIONS:
Some versions of the digital input modules include an active voltage monitor circuit connected across form-A contacts. The
voltage monitor circuit limits the trickle current through the output circuit (see technical specifications for form-A).

5.7 CONTROL ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

As long as the current through the voltage monitor is above a threshold (see technical specifications for form-A), the Cont
Op 1 VOn FlexLogic operand will be set (for contact input 1 corresponding operands exist for each contact output). If
the output circuit has a high resistance or the DC current is interrupted, the trickle current will drop below the threshold and
the Cont Op 1 VOff FlexLogic operand will be set. Consequently, the state of these operands can be used as indicators
of the integrity of the circuits in which form-A contacts are inserted.
EXAMPLE 1: BREAKER TRIP CIRCUIT INTEGRITY MONITORING
In many applications it is desired to monitor the breaker trip circuit integrity so problems can be detected before a trip oper-
ation is required. The circuit is considered to be healthy when the voltage monitor connected across the trip output contact
detects a low level of current, well below the operating current of the breaker trip coil. If the circuit presents a high resis-
tance, the trickle current will fall below the monitor threshold and an alarm would be declared.
In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact which is open when the
breaker is open (see diagram below). To prevent unwanted alarms in this situation, the trip circuit monitoring logic must
include the breaker position.

Assume the output contact H1 is a trip contact. Using the contact output settings, this output will be given an ID name; for
example, Cont Op 1". Assume a 52a breaker auxiliary contact is connected to contact input H7a to monitor breaker status.
Using the contact input settings, this input will be given an ID name, for example, Cont Ip 1", and will be set On when the
breaker is closed. The settings to use digital element 1 to monitor the breaker trip circuit are indicated below (EnerVista UR

The PICKUP DELAY setting should be greater than the operating time of the breaker to avoid nuisance
alarms.

EXAMPLE 2: BREAKER TRIP CIRCUIT INTEGRITY MONITORING


If it is required to monitor the trip circuit continuously, independent of the breaker position (open or closed), a method to
maintain the monitoring current flow through the trip circuit when the breaker is open must be provided (as shown in the fig-
ure below). This can be achieved by connecting a suitable resistor (see figure below) across the auxiliary contact in the trip
circuit. In this case, it is not required to supervise the monitoring circuit with the breaker position the BLOCK setting is
selected to Off. In this case, the settings are as follows (EnerVista UR Setup example shown).

There are 8 identical digital counters, numbered from 1 to 8. A digital counter counts the number of state transitions from
Logic 0 to Logic 1. The counter is used to count operations such as the pickups of an element, the changes of state of an
external contact (e.g. breaker auxiliary switch), or pulses from a watt-hour meter.
COUNTER 1 UNITS: Assigns a label to identify the unit of measure pertaining to the digital transitions to be counted.
The units label will appear in the corresponding actual values status.
COUNTER 1 PRESET: Sets the count to a required preset value before counting operations begin, as in the case
where a substitute relay is to be installed in place of an in-service relay, or while the counter is running.
COUNTER 1 COMPARE: Sets the value to which the accumulated count value is compared. Three FlexLogic output
operands are provided to indicate if the present value is more than (HI), equal to (EQL), or less than (LO) the set
value.
COUNTER 1 UP: Selects the FlexLogic operand for incrementing the counter. If an enabled UP input is received
when the accumulated value is at the limit of +2,147,483,647 counts, the counter will rollover to 2,147,483,648.
COUNTER 1 DOWN: Selects the FlexLogic operand for decrementing the counter. If an enabled DOWN input is
received when the accumulated value is at the limit of 2,147,483,648 counts, the counter will rollover to
+2,147,483,647.
COUNTER 1 BLOCK: Selects the FlexLogic operand for blocking the counting operation. All counter operands are
blocked.

be set to the preset value in the following situations:
1. When the counter is enabled and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand has the value 1 (when the counter is enabled
and CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand is 0, the counter will be set to 0).
2. When the counter is running and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand changes the state from 0 to 1 (CNT1 SET TO
PRESET changing from 1 to 0 while the counter is running has no effect on the count).
3. When a reset or reset/freeze command is sent to the counter and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand has the value
1 (when a reset or reset/freeze command is sent to the counter and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand has the
value 0, the counter will be set to 0).
COUNTER 1 RESET: Selects the FlexLogic operand for setting the count to either 0 or the preset value depending
on the state of the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand.
COUNTER 1 FREEZE/RESET: Selects the FlexLogic operand for capturing (freezing) the accumulated count value
into a separate register with the date and time of the operation, and resetting the count to 0.
COUNTER 1 FREEZE/COUNT: Selects the FlexLogic operand for capturing (freezing) the accumulated count value

There is one breaker arcing current element available per CT bank, with a minimum of two elements. This element calcu-
lates an estimate of the per-phase wear on the breaker contacts by measuring and integrating the current squared passing
through the breaker contacts as an arc. These per-phase values are added to accumulated totals for each phase and com-
pared to a programmed threshold value. When the threshold is exceeded in any phase, the relay can set an output operand
to 1. The accumulated value for each phase can be displayed as an actual value.
The operation of the scheme is shown in the following logic diagram. The same output operand that is selected to operate
the output relay used to trip the breaker, indicating a tripping sequence has begun, is used to initiate this feature. A time
delay is introduced between initiation and the starting of integration to prevent integration of current flow through the
breaker before the contacts have parted. This interval includes the operating time of the output relay, any other auxiliary
relays and the breaker mechanism. For maximum measurement accuracy, the interval between change-of-state of the
operand (from 0 to 1) and contact separation should be measured for the specific installation. Integration of the measured
current continues for 100 ms, which is expected to include the total arcing period.

The feature is programmed to perform fault duration calculations. Fault duration is defined as a time between operation of
the disturbance detector occurring before initiation of this feature, and reset of an internal low-set overcurrent function. Cor-

VT FUSE FAILURE 1 VT FUSE FAILURE 1 Range: Disabled, Enabled


FUNCTION: Disabled

Every signal source includes a fuse failure scheme.


The VT fuse failure detector can be used to raise an alarm and/or block elements that may operate incorrectly for a full or
partial loss of AC potential caused by one or more blown fuses. Some elements that might be blocked (via the BLOCK input)
are distance, voltage restrained overcurrent, and directional current.
There are two classes of fuse failure that may occur:
Class A: loss of one or two phases.
Class B: loss of all three phases.
Different means of detection are required for each class. An indication of Class A failures is a significant level of negative
sequence voltage, whereas an indication of class B failures is when positive sequence current is present and there is an
insignificant amount of positive sequence voltage. These noted indications of fuse failure could also be present when faults
are present on the system, so a means of detecting faults and inhibiting fuse failure declarations during these events is pro-
vided. Once the fuse failure condition is declared, it will be sealed-in until the cause that generated it disappears.
An additional condition is introduced to inhibit a fuse failure declaration when the monitored circuit is de-energized; positive
sequence voltage and current are both below threshold levels.
The function setting enables and disables the fuse failure feature for each source.

The contact inputs menu contains configuration settings for each contact input as well as voltage thresholds for each group
of four contact inputs. Upon startup, the relay processor determines (from an assessment of the installed modules) which
contact inputs are available and then display settings for only those inputs.
An alphanumeric ID may be assigned to a contact input for diagnostic, setting, and event recording purposes. The CON-
TACT IP X On (Logic 1) FlexLogic operand corresponds to contact input X being closed, while CONTACT IP X Off corre-
sponds to contact input X being open. The CONTACT INPUT DEBNCE TIME defines the time required for the contact to
overcome contact bouncing conditions. As this time differs for different contact types and manufacturers, set it as a maxi-
mum contact debounce time (per manufacturer specifications) plus some margin to ensure proper operation. If CONTACT
INPUT EVENTS is set to Enabled, every change in the contact input state will trigger an event.

A raw status is scanned for all Contact Inputs synchronously at the constant rate of 0.5 ms as shown in the figure below.
The DC input voltage is compared to a user-settable threshold. A new contact input state must be maintained for a user-
settable debounce time in order for the D30 to validate the new contact state. In the figure below, the debounce time is set
at 2.5 ms; thus the 6th sample in a row validates the change of state (mark no. 1 in the diagram). Once validated (de-
bounced), the contact input asserts a corresponding FlexLogic operand and logs an event as per user setting.
A time stamp of the first sample in the sequence that validates the new state is used when logging the change of the con-
tact input into the Event Recorder (mark no. 2 in the diagram).
Protection and control elements, as well as FlexLogic equations and timers, are executed eight times in a power system
cycle. The protection pass duration is controlled by the frequency tracking mechanism. The FlexLogic operand reflecting
the debounced state of the contact is updated at the protection pass following the validation (marks no. 3 and 4 on the fig-
ure below). The update is performed at the beginning of the protection pass so all protection and control functions, as well
as FlexLogic equations, are fed with the updated states of the contact inputs.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 5-197


5.8 INPUTS/OUTPUTS 5 SETTINGS

The FlexLogic operand response time to the contact input change is equal to the debounce time setting plus up to one
protection pass (variable and depending on system frequency if frequency tracking enabled). If the change of state occurs
just after a protection pass, the recognition is delayed until the subsequent protection pass; that is, by the entire duration of
the protection pass. If the change occurs just prior to a protection pass, the state is recognized immediately. Statistically a
delay of half the protection pass is expected. Owing to the 0.5 ms scan rate, the time resolution for the input contact is
below 1msec.
For example, 8 protection passes per cycle on a 60 Hz system correspond to a protection pass every 2.1 ms. With a con-
tact debounce time setting of 3.0 ms, the FlexLogic operand-assert time limits are: 3.0 + 0.0 = 3.0 ms and 3.0 + 2.1 = 5.1
ms. These time limits depend on how soon the protection pass runs after the debouncing time.
Regardless of the contact debounce time setting, the contact input event is time-stamped with a 1 s accuracy using the
time of the first scan corresponding to the new state (mark no. 2 below). Therefore, the time stamp reflects a change in the
DC voltage across the contact input terminals that was not accidental as it was subsequently validated using the debounce
timer. Keep in mind that the associated FlexLogic operand is asserted/de-asserted later, after validating the change.
The debounce algorithm is symmetrical: the same procedure and debounce time are used to filter the LOW-HIGH (marks
no.1, 2, 3, and 4 in the figure below) and HIGH-LOW (marks no. 5, 6, 7, and 8 below) transitions.

Contact inputs are isolated in groups of four to allow connection of wet contacts from different voltage sources for each
group. The CONTACT INPUT THRESHOLDS determine the minimum voltage required to detect a closed contact input. This
value should be selected according to the following criteria: 17 for 24 V sources, 33 for 48 V sources, 84 for 110 to 125 V
sources and 166 for 250 V sources.
For example, to use contact input H5a as a status input from the breaker 52b contact to seal-in the trip relay and record it in

If the VIRTUAL INPUT x FUNCTION is to Disabled, the input will be forced to off (logic 0) regardless of any attempt to alter the

response to received input signals and the applied settings.

Upon startup of the relay, the main processor will determine from an assessment of the modules installed in the chassis
which contact outputs are available and present the settings for only these outputs.
An ID may be assigned to each contact output. The signal that can OPERATE a contact output may be any FlexLogic
operand (virtual output, element state, contact input, or virtual input). An additional FlexLogic operand may be used to
SEAL-IN the relay. Any change of state of a contact output can be logged as an Event if programmed to do so.

For example, the trip circuit current is monitored by providing a current threshold detector in series with some Form-A con-
tacts (see the trip circuit example in the Digital elements section). The monitor will set a flag (see the specifications for
Form-A). The name of the FlexLogic operand set by the monitor, consists of the output relay designation, followed by the
name of the flag; for example, CONT OP 1 ION.
5 In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact used to interrupt current
flow after the breaker has tripped, to prevent damage to the less robust initiating contact. This can be done by monitoring
an auxiliary contact on the breaker which opens when the breaker has tripped, but this scheme is subject to incorrect oper-
ation caused by differences in timing between breaker auxiliary contact change-of-state and interruption of current in the
trip circuit. The most dependable protection of the initiating contact is provided by directly measuring current in the tripping
circuit, and using this parameter to control resetting of the initiating relay. This scheme is often called trip seal-in.
This can be realized in the D30 using the CONT OP 1 ION FlexLogic operand to seal-in the contact output as follows:

The D30 latching output contacts are mechanically bi-stable and controlled by two separate (open and close) coils. As such
they retain their position even if the relay is not powered up. The relay recognizes all latching output contact cards and pop-
ulates the setting menu accordingly. On power up, the relay reads positions of the latching contacts from the hardware
before executing any other functions of the relay (such as protection and control features or FlexLogic).
The latching output modules, either as a part of the relay or as individual modules, are shipped from the factory with all
latching contacts opened. It is highly recommended to double-check the programming and positions of the latching con-
tacts when replacing a module.
Since the relay asserts the output contact and reads back its position, it is possible to incorporate self-monitoring capabili-
ties for the latching outputs. If any latching outputs exhibits a discrepancy, the LATCHING OUTPUT ERROR self-test error is
declared. The error is signaled by the LATCHING OUT ERROR FlexLogic operand, event, and target message.
OUTPUT H1a OPERATE: This setting specifies a FlexLogic operand to operate the close coil of the contact. The
relay will seal-in this input to safely close the contact. Once the contact is closed and the RESET input is logic 0 (off),
any activity of the OPERATE input, such as subsequent chattering, will not have any effect. With both the OPERATE and
RESET inputs active (logic 1), the response of the latching contact is specified by the OUTPUT H1A TYPE setting.

OUTPUT H1a RESET: This setting specifies a FlexLogic operand to operate the trip coil of the contact. The relay
will seal-in this input to safely open the contact. Once the contact is opened and the OPERATE input is logic 0 (off), any
activity of the RESET input, such as subsequent chattering, will not have any effect. With both the OPERATE and RESET
inputs active (logic 1), the response of the latching contact is specified by the OUTPUT H1A TYPE setting.
OUTPUT H1a TYPE: This setting specifies the contact response under conflicting control inputs; that is, when both the
OPERATE and RESET signals are applied. With both control inputs applied simultaneously, the contact will close if set to
Operate-dominant and will open if set to Reset-dominant.

Application Example 1:
A latching output contact H1a is to be controlled from two user-programmable pushbuttons (buttons number 1 and 2). The 5
following settings should be applied.
Program the Latching Outputs by making the following changes in the SETTINGS INPUTS/OUTPUTS CONTACT OUT-
PUTS CONTACT OUTPUT H1a menu (assuming an H4L module):

OUTPUT H1a OPERATE: PUSHBUTTON 1 ON


OUTPUT H1a RESET: PUSHBUTTON 2 ON

Program the pushbuttons by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP USER-PROGRAMMABLE PUSHBUT-
TONS USER PUSHBUTTON 1 and USER PUSHBUTTON 2 menus:

PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION: Self-reset PUSHBUTTON 2 FUNCTION: Self-reset


PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME: 0.00 s PUSHBTN 2 DROP-OUT TIME: 0.00 s

Application Example 2:
A relay, having two latching contacts H1a and H1c, is to be programmed. The H1a contact is to be a Type-a contact, while
the H1c contact is to be a Type-b contact (Type-a means closed after exercising the operate input; Type-b means closed
after exercising the reset input). The relay is to be controlled from virtual outputs: VO1 to operate and VO2 to reset.
Program the Latching Outputs by making the following changes in the SETTINGS INPUTS/OUTPUTS CONTACT OUT-
PUTS CONTACT OUTPUT H1a and CONTACT OUTPUT H1c menus (assuming an H4L module):

OUTPUT H1a OPERATE: VO1 OUTPUT H1c OPERATE: VO2


OUTPUT H1a RESET: VO2 OUTPUT H1c RESET: VO1

Since the two physical contacts in this example are mechanically separated and have individual control inputs, they will not
operate at exactly the same time. A discrepancy in the range of a fraction of a maximum operating time may occur. There-
fore, a pair of contacts programmed to be a multi-contact relay will not guarantee any specific sequence of operation (such
as make before break). If required, the sequence of operation must be programmed explicitly by delaying some of the con-
trol inputs as shown in the next application example.

Application Example 3:
A make before break functionality must be added to the preceding example. An overlap of 20 ms is required to implement
this functionality as described below:

5.8.5 REMOTE DEVICES

a) REMOTE INPUTS/OUTPUTS OVERVIEW


Remote inputs and outputs provide a means of exchanging digital state information between Ethernet-networked devices.
The IEC 61850 GSSE (Generic Substation State Event) and GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) stan-
dards are used.
The IEC 61850 specification requires that communications between devices be implemented on Ethernet.
For UR-series relays, Ethernet communications is provided on all CPU modules except type 9E.
NOTE

The sharing of digital point state information between GSSE/GOOSE equipped relays is essentially an extension to Flex-
Logic, allowing distributed FlexLogic by making operands available to/from devices on a common communications net-
work. In addition to digital point states, GSSE/GOOSE messages identify the originator of the message and provide other
information required by the communication specification. All devices listen to network messages and capture data only from
messages that have originated in selected devices.
IEC 61850 GSSE messages are compatible with UCA GOOSE messages and contain a fixed set of digital points. IEC
61850 GOOSE messages can, in general, contain any configurable data items. When used by the remote input/output fea-
ture, IEC 61850 GOOSE messages contain the same data as GSSE messages.
Both GSSE and GOOSE messages are designed to be short, reliable, and high priority. GOOSE messages have additional
advantages over GSSE messages due to their support of VLAN (virtual LAN) and Ethernet priority tagging functionality.
The GSSE message structure contains space for 128 bit pairs representing digital point state information. The IEC 61850
specification provides 32 DNA bit pairs that represent the state of two pre-defined events and 30 user-defined events. All
remaining bit pairs are UserSt bit pairs, which are status bits representing user-definable events. The D30 implementation 5
provides 32 of the 96 available UserSt bit pairs.
The IEC 61850 specification includes features that are used to cope with the loss of communication between transmitting
and receiving devices. Each transmitting device will send a GSSE/GOOSE message upon a successful power-up, when
the state of any included point changes, or after a specified interval (the default update time) if a change-of-state has not
occurred. The transmitting device also sends a hold time which is set greater than three times the programmed default
time required by the receiving device.
Receiving devices are constantly monitoring the communications network for messages they require, as recognized by the
identification of the originating device carried in the message. Messages received from remote devices include the mes-
sage time allowed to live. The receiving relay sets a timer assigned to the originating device to this time interval, and if it
has not received another message from this device at time-out, the remote device is declared to be non-communicating, so
it will use the programmed default state for all points from that specific remote device. If a message is received from a
remote device before the time allowed to live expires, all points for that device are updated to the states contained in the
message and the hold timer is restarted. The status of a remote device, where Offline indicates non-communicating, can
be displayed.
The remote input/output facility provides for remote inputs and 64 remote outputs.

b) LOCAL DEVICES: ID OF DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING GSSE MESSAGES


In a D30 relay, the device ID that represents the IEC 61850 GOOSE application ID (GoID) name string sent as part of each
GOOSE message is programmed in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS IEC 61850 PROTOCOL
GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION TRANSMISSION FIXED GOOSE GOOSE ID setting.

Likewise, the device ID that represents the IEC 61850 GSSE application ID name string sent as part of each GSSE mes-
sage is programmed in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS IEC 61850 PROTOCOL GSSE/GOOSE
CONFIGURATION TRANSMISSION GSSE GSSE ID setting.

In D30 releases previous to 5.0x, these name strings were represented by the RELAY NAME setting.

Remote devices are available for setting purposes. A receiving relay must be programmed to capture messages from only
those originating remote devices of interest. This setting is used to select specific remote devices by entering (bottom row)
the exact identification (ID) assigned to those devices.
The REMOTE DEVICE 1 ETYPE APPID setting is only used with GOOSE messages; they are not applicable to GSSE mes-
sages. This setting identifies the Ethernet application identification in the GOOSE message. It should match the corre-
sponding settings on the sending device.
The REMOTE DEVICE 1 DATASET setting provides for the choice of the D30 fixed (DNA/UserSt) dataset (that is, containing
DNA and UserSt bit pairs), or one of the configurable datasets.
Note that the dataset for the received data items must be made up of existing items in an existing logical node. For this rea-
son, logical node GGIO3 is instantiated to hold the incoming data items. GGIO3 is not necessary to make use of the
received data. The remote input data item mapping takes care of the mapping of the inputs to remote input FlexLogic
operands. However, GGIO3 data can be read by IEC 61850 clients.

Remote Inputs that create FlexLogic operands at the receiving relay are extracted from GSSE/GOOSE messages origi-
nating in remote devices. Each remote input can be selected from a list consisting of 64 selections: DNA-1 through DNA-32
and UserSt-1 through UserSt-32. The function of DNA inputs is defined in the IEC 61850 specification and is presented in
the IEC 61850 DNA Assignments table in the Remote outputs section. The function of UserSt inputs is defined by the user
selection of the FlexLogic operand whose state is represented in the GSSE/GOOSE message. A user must program a
DNA point from the appropriate FlexLogic operand.
Remote input 1 must be programmed to replicate the logic state of a specific signal from a specific remote device for local
use. This programming is performed via the three settings shown above.
The REMOTE INPUT 1 ID setting allows the user to assign descriptive text to the remote input. The REMOTE IN 1 DEVICE setting
selects the number (1 to 16) of the remote device which originates the required signal, as previously assigned to the remote
device via the setting REMOTE DEVICE 1(16) ID (see the Remote devices section). The REMOTE IN 1 ITEM setting selects the
specific bits of the GSSE/GOOSE message required.
The REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE setting selects the logic state for this point if the local relay has just completed startup or
the remote device sending the point is declared to be non-communicating. The following choices are available:

Remote double-point status inputs are extracted from GOOSE messages originating in the remote device. Each remote
double point status input must be programmed to replicate the logic state of a specific signal from a specific remote device
for local use. This functionality is accomplished with the five remote double-point status input settings.
REM DPS IN 1 ID: This setting assigns descriptive text to the remote double-point status input.
REM DPS IN 1 DEV: This setting selects a remote device ID to indicate the origin of a GOOSE message. The range is
selected from the remote device IDs specified in the Remote devices section.
REM DPS IN 1 ITEM: This setting specifies the required bits of the GOOSE message.
The configurable GOOSE dataset items must be changed to accept a double-point status item from a GOOSE dataset
(changes are made in the SETTINGS COMMUNICATION IEC 61850 PROTOCOL GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION

items configured to receive any of GGIO3.ST.IndPos1.stV to GGIO3.ST.IndPos5.stV will accept double-point status
information that will be decoded by the remote double-point status inputs configured to this dataset item.
The remote double point status is recovered from the received IEC 61850 dataset and is available as through the RemDPS

Some events can be programmed to latch the faceplate LED event indicators and the target message on the display. Once
set, the latching mechanism will hold all of the latched indicators or messages in the set state after the initiating condition
has cleared until a RESET command is received to return these latches (not including FlexLogic latches) to the reset
state. The RESET command can be sent from the faceplate Reset button, a remote device via a communications channel,
or any programmed operand.
When the RESET command is received by the relay, two FlexLogic operands are created. These operands, which are
stored as events, reset the latches if the initiating condition has cleared. The three sources of RESET commands each cre-
ate the RESET OP FlexLogic operand. Each individual source of a RESET command also creates its individual operand
RESET OP (PUSHBUTTON), RESET OP (COMMS) or RESET OP (OPERAND) to identify the source of the command. The setting
shown above selects the operand that will create the RESET OP (OPERAND) operand.

Consider an application that requires additional quantities of digital inputs or output contacts or lines of programmable logic
that exceed the capabilities of a single UR-series chassis. The problem is solved by adding an extra UR-series IED, such
as the C30, to satisfy the additional inputs/outputs and programmable logic requirements. The two IEDs are connected via
single-channel digital communication cards as shown below.

The Cont Ip 1 On operand of UR IED 2 is now available in UR IED 1 as DIRECT INPUT 5 ON.
EXAMPLE 2: INTERLOCKING BUSBAR PROTECTION
A simple interlocking busbar protection scheme can be accomplished by sending a blocking signal from downstream

would trip the bus upon detecting a fault and applying a short coordination time delay.
The following settings should be applied (assume Bit 3 is used by all 3 devices to sent the blocking signal and Direct Inputs

5.8.11 TELEPROTECTION INPUTS AND OUTPUTS


5 a) OVERVIEW
The relay provides sixteen teleprotection inputs on communications channel 1 (numbered 1-1 through 1-16) and sixteen
teleprotection inputs on communications channel 2 (on two-terminals two-channel and three-terminal systems only, num-
bered 2-1 through 2-16). The remote relay connected to channels 1 and 2 of the local relay is programmed by assigning
FlexLogic operands to be sent via the selected communications channel. This allows the user to create distributed pro-
tection and control schemes via dedicated communications channels. Some examples are directional comparison pilot
schemes and direct transfer tripping. It should be noted that failures of communications channels will affect teleprotection
functionality. The teleprotection function must be enabled to utilize the inputs.

The Latest/On and Latest/Off values freeze the input in case of lost communications. If the latest state is not known,
such as after relay power-up but before the first communication exchange, then the input defaults to logic 1 for Latest/On
and logic 0 for Latest/Off.

As the following figure demonstrates, processing of the teleprotection inputs/outputs is dependent on the number of com-
munication channels and terminals. On two-terminal two-channel systems, they are processed continuously on each chan-
nel and mapped separately per channel. Therefore, to achieve redundancy, the user must assign the same operand on
both channels (teleprotection outputs at the sending end or corresponding teleprotection inputs at the receiving end). On
three-terminal two-channel systems, redundancy is achieved by programming signal re-transmittal in the case of channel
failure between any pair of relays.

Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from external transducers and convert these signals into a digital for-
mat for use as required. The relay will accept inputs in the range of 1 to +20 mA DC, suitable for use with most common
transducer output ranges; all inputs are assumed to be linear over the complete range. Specific hardware details are con-
tained in chapter 3.
Before the dcmA input signal can be used, the value of the signal measured by the relay must be converted to the range
5 and quantity of the external transducer primary input parameter, such as DC voltage or temperature. The relay simplifies
this process by internally scaling the output from the external transducer and displaying the actual primary parameter.
dcmA input channels are arranged in a manner similar to CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels
with the settings shown here.
The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered from 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up,
the relay will automatically generate configuration settings for every channel, based on the order code, in the same general
manner that is used for CTs and VTs. Each channel is assigned a slot letter followed by the row number, 1 through 8 inclu-
sive, which is used as the channel number. The relay generates an actual value for each available input channel.
Settings are automatically generated for every channel available in the specific relay as shown above for the first channel of
a type 5F transducer module installed in slot H.
The function of the channel may be either Enabled or Disabled. If Disabled, no actual values are created for the chan-
nel. An alphanumeric ID is assigned to each channel; this ID will be included in the channel actual value, along with the
programmed units associated with the parameter measured by the transducer, such as volts, C, megawatts, etc. This ID is
also used to reference the channel as the input parameter to features designed to measure this type of parameter. The
DCMA INPUT H1 RANGE setting specifies the mA DC range of the transducer connected to the input channel.

The DCMA INPUT H1 MIN VALUE and DCMA INPUT H1 MAX VALUE settings are used to program the span of the transducer in
primary units. For example, a temperature transducer might have a span from 0 to 250C; in this case the DCMA INPUT H1
MIN VALUE value is 0 and the DCMA INPUT H1 MAX VALUE value is 250. Another example would be a watts transducer with
a span from 20 to +180 MW; in this case the DCMA INPUT H1 MIN VALUE value would be 20 and the DCMA INPUT H1 MAX
VALUE value 180. Intermediate values between the min and max values are scaled linearly.

Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from external resistance temperature detectors and convert these
signals into a digital format for use as required. These channels are intended to be connected to any of the RTD types in
common use. Specific hardware details are contained in chapter 3.
RTD input channels are arranged in a manner similar to CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels with

Settings are automatically generated for every channel available in the specific relay as shown above for the first channel of
a type 5C transducer module installed in the first available slot.
The function of the channel may be either Enabled or Disabled. If Disabled, there will not be an actual value created for
the channel. An alphanumeric ID is assigned to the channel; this ID will be included in the channel actual values. It is also 5
used to reference the channel as the input parameter to features designed to measure this type of parameter. Selecting the
type of RTD connected to the channel configures the channel.
Actions based on RTD overtemperature, such as trips or alarms, are done in conjunction with the FlexElements feature.
In FlexElements, the operate level is scaled to a base of 100C. For example, a trip level of 150C is achieved by setting
the operate level at 1.5 pu. FlexElement operands are available to FlexLogic for further interlocking or to operate an
output contact directly.

Hardware and software is provided to generate dcmA signals that allow interfacing with external equipment. Specific hard-
ware details are contained in chapter 3. The dcmA output channels are arranged in a manner similar to transducer input or
CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels with the settings shown below.
The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up, the
relay automatically generates configuration settings for every channel, based on the order code, in the same manner used
for CTs and VTs. Each channel is assigned a slot letter followed by the row number, 1 through 8 inclusive, which is used as
the channel number.
Both the output range and a signal driving a given output are user-programmable via the following settings menu (an exam-
ple for channel M5 is shown).
The relay checks the driving signal (x in equations below) for the minimum and maximum limits, and subsequently re-
scales so the limits defined as MIN VAL and MAX VAL match the output range of the hardware defined as RANGE. The follow-
ing equation is applied:

I min if x < MIN VAL



I out = I max if x > MAX VAL (EQ 5.21)

k ( x MIN VAL ) + I min otherwise

where: x is a driving signal specified by the SOURCE setting


Imin and Imax are defined by the RANGE setting
k is a scaling constant calculated as:

The dcmA output settings are described below.
DCMA OUTPUT H1 SOURCE: This setting specifies an internal analog value to drive the analog output. Actual values
(FlexAnalog parameters) such as power, current amplitude, voltage amplitude, power factor, etc. can be configured as
sources driving dcmA outputs. Refer to Appendix A for a complete list of FlexAnalog parameters.
DCMA OUTPUT H1 RANGE: This setting allows selection of the output range. Each dcmA channel may be set inde-
pendently to work with different ranges. The three most commonly used output ranges are available.
DCMA OUTPUT H1 MIN VAL: This setting allows setting the minimum limit for the signal that drives the output. This
setting is used to control the mapping between an internal analog value and the output current (see the following
examples). The setting is entered in per-unit values. The base units are defined in the same manner as the FlexEle-
ment base units.
DCMA OUTPUT H1 MAX VAL: This setting allows setting the maximum limit for the signal that drives the output. This
setting is used to control the mapping between an internal analog value and the output current (see the following

examples). The setting is entered in per-unit values. The base units are defined in the same manner as the FlexEle-
ment base units.
The DCMA OUTPUT H1 MIN VAL and DCMA OUTPUT H1 MAX VAL settings are ignored for power factor base units (i.e. if
the DCMA OUTPUT H1 SOURCE is set to FlexAnalog value based on power factor measurement).
NOTE

Three application examples are described below.


EXAMPLE 1:
A three phase active power on a 13.8 kV system measured via UR-series relay source 1 is to be monitored by the dcmA H1
output of the range of 1 to 1 mA. The following settings are applied on the relay: CT ratio = 1200:5, VT secondary 115, VT
connection is delta, and VT ratio = 120. The nominal current is 800 A primary and the nominal power factor is 0.90. The
power is to be monitored in both importing and exporting directions and allow for 20% overload compared to the nominal.
The nominal three-phase power is:

P = 3 13.8 kV 0.8 kA 0.9 = 17.21 MW (EQ 5.23)

The three-phase power with 20% overload margin is:


P max = 1.2 17.21 MW = 20.65 MW (EQ 5.24)

The base unit for power (refer to the FlexElements section in this chapter for additional details) is:
P BASE = 115 V 120 1.2 kA = 16.56 MW (EQ 5.25)

The minimum and maximum power values to be monitored (in pu) are:
20.65 MW = 1.247 pu, maximum power = 20.65 MW- = 1.247 pu
minimum power = ------------------------------
5 16.56 MW
--------------------------
16.56 MW
(EQ 5.26)

The following settings should be entered:


DCMA OUTPUT H1 SOURCE: SRC 1 P
DCMA OUTPUT H1 RANGE: 1 to 1 mA
DCMA OUTPUT H1 MIN VAL: 1.247 pu
DCMA OUTPUT H1 MAX VAL: 1.247 pu

With the above settings, the output will represent the power with the scale of 1 mA per 20.65 MW. The worst-case error for
this application can be calculated by superimposing the following two sources of error:
0.5% of the full scale for the analog output module, or 0.005 ( 1 ( 1 ) ) 20.65 MW = 0.207 MW
1% of reading error for the active power at power factor of 0.9
For example at the reading of 20 MW, the worst-case error is 0.01 20 MW + 0.207 MW = 0.407 MW.
EXAMPLE 2:
The phase A current (true RMS value) is to be monitored via the H2 current output working with the range from 4 to 20 mA.
The CT ratio is 5000:5 and the maximum load current is 4200 A. The current should be monitored from 0 A upwards, allow-
ing for 50% overload.
The phase current with the 50% overload margin is:
I max = 1.5 4.2 kA = 6.3 kA (EQ 5.27)

The base unit for current (refer to the FlexElements section in this chapter for additional details) is:
I BASE = 5 kA (EQ 5.28)

The minimum and maximum power values to be monitored (in pu) are:

minimum current = 0 kA- = 0 pu, maximum current = 6.3 kA- = 1.26 pu

0.25% of reading or 0.1% of rated (whichever is greater) for currents between 0.1 and 2.0 of nominal
For example, at the reading of 4.2 kA, the worst-case error is max(0.0025 4.2 kA, 0.001 5 kA) + 0.504 kA = 0.515 kA.
EXAMPLE 3:
A positive-sequence voltage on a 400 kV system measured via Source 2 is to be monitored by the dcmA H3 output with a
range of 0 to 1 mA. The VT secondary setting is 66.4 V, the VT ratio setting is 6024, and the VT connection setting is
Delta. The voltage should be monitored in the range from 70% to 110% of nominal.
The minimum and maximum positive-sequence voltages to be monitored are:
400 kV 400 kV
V min = 0.7 ------------------- = 161.66 kV, V max = 1.1 ------------------- = 254.03 kV (EQ 5.30)

The base unit for voltage (refer to the FlexElements section in this chapter for additional details) is:
V BASE = 0.0664 kV 6024 = 400 kV (EQ 5.31)

The minimum and maximum voltage values to be monitored (in pu) are:

minimum voltage = 161.66 kV- = 0.404 pu, maximum voltage = 254.03 kV- = 0.635 pu
-------------------------- -------------------------- (EQ 5.32)
400 kV 400 kV 5
The following settings should be entered:
DCMA OUTPUT H3 SOURCE: SRC 2 V_1 mag
DCMA OUTPUT H3 RANGE: 0 to 1 mA
DCMA OUTPUT H3 MIN VAL: 0.404 pu
DCMA OUTPUT H3 MAX VAL: 0.635 pu

The limit settings differ from the expected 0.7 pu and 1.1 pu because the relay calculates the positive-sequence quantities
scaled to the phase-to-ground voltages, even if the VTs are connected in Delta (refer to the Metering Conventions section
in Chapter 6), while at the same time the VT nominal voltage is 1 pu for the settings. Consequently the settings required in
this example differ from naturally expected by the factor of 3 .
The worst-case error for this application could be calculated by superimposing the following two sources of error:
0.5% of the full scale for the analog output module, or 0.005 ( 1 0 ) 254.03 kV = 1.27 kV
0.5% of reading
For example, under nominal conditions, the positive-sequence reads 230.94 kV and the worst-case error is
0.005 x 230.94 kV + 1.27 kV = 2.42 kV.

The D30 provides a test facility to verify the functionality of contact inputs and outputs, some communication channels and
the phasor measurement unit (where applicable), using simulated conditions. The test mode is indicated on the relay face-
plate by a Test Mode LED indicator.
The test mode may be in any of three states: disabled, isolated, or forcible.
In the Disabled mode, D30 operation is normal and all test features are disabled.
In the Isolated mode, the D30 is prevented from performing certain control actions, including tripping via contact outputs.
All relay contact outputs, including latching outputs, are disabled. Channel tests and phasor measurement unit tests remain
usable on applicable UR-series models.
In the Forcible mode, the operand selected by the TEST MODE FORCING setting controls the relay inputs and outputs. If the
test mode is forcible, and the operand assigned to the TEST MODE FORCING setting is Off, the D30 inputs and outputs oper-
ate normally. If the test mode is forcible, and the operand assigned to the TEST MODE FORCING setting is On, the D30 con-
tact inputs and outputs are forced to the values specified in the following sections. Forcing may be controlled by manually
changing the operand selected by the TEST MODE FORCING setting between on and off, or by selecting a user-programma-
ble pushbutton, contact input, or communication-based input operand. Channel tests and phasor measurement unit tests

5 remain usable on applicable UR-series models.


Communications based inputs and outputs remain fully operational in test mode. If a control action is programmed
using direct inputs and outputs or remote inputs and outputs, then the test procedure must take this into account.
NOTE

When in Forcible mode, the operand selected by the TEST MODE FORCING setting dictates further response of the D30 to
testing conditions. To force contact inputs and outputs through relay settings, set TEST MODE FORCING to On. To force con-
tact inputs and outputs through a user-programmable condition, such as FlexLogic operand (pushbutton, digital input,
communication-based input, or a combination of these), set TEST MODE FORCING to the desired operand. The contact input
or output is forced when the selected operand assumes a logic 1 state.
The D30 remains fully operational in test mode, allowing for various testing procedures. In particular, the protection and
control elements, FlexLogic, and communication-based inputs and outputs function normally.
The only difference between the normal operation and the test mode is the behavior of the input and output contacts. The
contact inputs can be forced to report as open or closed or remain fully operational, whereas the contact outputs can be
forced to open, close, freeze, or remain fully operational. The response of the digital input and output contacts to the test
mode is programmed individually for each input and output using the force contact inputs and force contact outputs test
functions described in the following sections.
The test mode state is indicated on the relay faceplate by a combination of the Test Mode LED indicator, the In-Service LED
indicator, and by the critical fail relay, as shown in the following table.

Forcible On (logic 1) Off Flashing De- Contact inputs and outputs are controlled by the
energized force contact input and force contact output
functions. Channel tests and PMU tests are
operational (where applicable).
Off (logic 0) Off Flashing De- Contact outputs and inputs are under normal
energized operation. Channel tests and PMU tests are also
operational (where applicable).

The TEST MODE FUNCTION setting can only be changed by a direct user command. Following a restart, power up, settings
upload, or firmware upgrade, the test mode will remain at the last programmed value. This allows a D30 that has been
placed in isolated mode to remain isolated during testing and maintenance activities. On restart, the TEST MODE FORCING
setting and the force contact input and force contact output settings all revert to their default states.

The relay digital inputs (contact inputs) could be pre-programmed to respond to the test mode in the following ways:
If set to Disabled, the input remains fully operational. It is controlled by the voltage across its input terminals and can
be turned on and off by external circuitry. This value should be selected if a given input must be operational during the
test. This includes, for example, an input initiating the test, or being a part of a user pre-programmed test sequence.
If set to Open, the input is forced to report as opened (Logic 0) for the entire duration of the test mode regardless of
the voltage across the input terminals.
If set to Closed, the input is forced to report as closed (Logic 1) for the entire duration of the test mode regardless of
the voltage across the input terminals.
The force contact inputs feature provides a method of performing checks on the function of all contact inputs. Once
enabled, the relay is placed into test mode, allowing this feature to override the normal function of contact inputs. The Test
Mode LED will be on, indicating that the relay is in test mode. The state of each contact input may be programmed as Dis-
abled, Open, or Closed. All contact input operations return to normal when all settings for this feature are disabled.

The relay contact outputs can be pre-programmed to respond to the test mode.
If set to Disabled, the contact output remains fully operational. If operates when its control operand is logic 1 and will
resets when its control operand is logic 0. If set to Energized, the output will close and remain closed for the entire dura-
tion of the test mode, regardless of the status of the operand configured to control the output contact. If set to De-ener-
gized, the output will open and remain opened for the entire duration of the test mode regardless of the status of the
operand configured to control the output contact. If set to Freeze, the output retains its position from before entering the
test mode, regardless of the status of the operand configured to control the output contact.
These settings are applied two ways. First, external circuits may be tested by energizing or de-energizing contacts. Sec-
ond, by controlling the output contact state, relay logic may be tested and undesirable effects on external circuits avoided.
Example 1: Initiating test mode through user-programmable pushbutton 1

5 For example, the test mode can be initiated from user-programmable pushbutton 1. The pushbutton will be programmed as
Latched (pushbutton pressed to initiate the test, and pressed again to terminate the test). During the test, digital input 1
should remain operational, digital inputs 2 and 3 should open, and digital input 4 should close. Also, contact output 1 should
freeze, contact output 2 should open, contact output 3 should close, and contact output 4 should remain fully operational.
The required settings are shown below.
To enable user-programmable pushbutton 1 to initiate the test mode, make the following changes in the SETTINGS
TESTING TEST MODE menu: TEST MODE FUNCTION: Enabled and TEST MODE INITIATE: PUSHBUTTON 1 ON

Make the following changes to configure the contact inputs and outputs. In the SETTINGS TESTING FORCE CONTACT
INPUTS and FORCE CONTACT OUTPUTS menus, set:

FORCE Cont Ip 1: Disabled, FORCE Cont Ip 2: Open, FORCE Cont Ip 3: Open, and FORCE Cont Ip 4: Closed
FORCE Cont Op 1: Freeze, FORCE Cont Op 2: De-energized, FORCE Cont Op 3: Energized,
and FORCE Cont Op 4: Disabled
Example 2: Initiating a test from user-programmable pushbutton 1 or through remote input 1
In this example, the test can be initiated locally from user-programmable pushbutton 1 or remotely through remote input 1.
Both the pushbutton and the remote input will be programmed as Latched. Write the following FlexLogic equation:

Set the user-programmable pushbutton as latching by changing SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP USER-PROGRAMMABLE
PUSHBUTTONS USER PUSHBUTTON 1 PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION to Latched. To enable either pushbutton 1 or remote
input 1 to initiate the Test mode, make the following changes in the SETTINGS TESTING TEST MODE menu:

The AVERAGE MSG RETURN TIME is the time taken for direct output messages to return to the sender in a direct input/output
ring configuration (this value is not applicable for non-ring configurations). This is a rolling average calculated for the last
ten messages. There are two return times for dual-channel communications modules.
The UNRETURNED MSG COUNT values (one per communications channel) count the direct output messages that do not
make the trip around the communications ring. The CRC FAIL COUNT values (one per communications channel) count the
direct output messages that have been received but fail the CRC check. High values for either of these counts may indicate
on a problem with wiring, the communication channel, or one or more relays. The UNRETURNED MSG COUNT and CRC FAIL

b) UR CONVENTION FOR MEASURING PHASE ANGLES


All phasors calculated by UR-series relays and used for protection, control and metering functions are rotating phasors that
maintain the correct phase angle relationships with each other at all times.
For display and oscillography purposes, all phasor angles in a given relay are referred to an AC input channel pre-selected
by the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP POWER SYSTEM FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE setting. This setting
defines a particular AC signal source to be used as the reference.
The relay will first determine if any Phase VT bank is indicated in the source. If it is, voltage channel VA of that bank is
used as the angle reference. Otherwise, the relay determines if any Aux VT bank is indicated; if it is, the auxiliary voltage
channel of that bank is used as the angle reference. If neither of the two conditions is satisfied, then two more steps of this
hierarchical procedure to determine the reference signal include Phase CT bank and Ground CT bank.
If the AC signal pre-selected by the relay upon configuration is not measurable, the phase angles are not referenced. The
phase angles are assigned as positive in the leading direction, and are presented as negative in the lagging direction, to
more closely align with power system metering conventions. This is illustrated below.

c) UR CONVENTION FOR MEASURING SYMMETRICAL COMPONENTS


The UR-series of relays calculate voltage symmetrical components for the power system phase A line-to-neutral voltage,
and symmetrical components of the currents for the power system phase A current. Owing to the above definition, phase
angle relations between the symmetrical currents and voltages stay the same irrespective of the connection of instrument
transformers. This is important for setting directional protection elements that use symmetrical voltages.
For display and oscillography purposes the phase angles of symmetrical components are referenced to a common refer-
ence as described in the previous sub-section.

SOURCE FREQUENCY is measured via software-implemented zero-crossing detection of an AC signal. The signal is either a
Clarke transformation of three-phase voltages or currents, auxiliary voltage, or ground current as per source configuration
(see the SYSTEM SETUP POWER SYSTEM settings). The signal used for frequency estimation is low-pass filtered. The
final frequency measurement is passed through a validation filter that eliminates false readings due to signal distortions and
transients.

to No. The service command is activated by entering a numerical code and pressing the ENTER key.
The PERFORM LAMPTEST command turns on all faceplate LEDs and display pixels for a short duration. The UPDATE
ORDER CODE command causes the relay to scan the backplane for the hardware modules and update the order code to
match. If an update occurs, the following message is shown.
UPDATING...
PLEASE WAIT
There is no impact if there have been no changes to the hardware modules. When an update does not occur, the ORDER
CODE NOT UPDATED message will be shown.

The SERVICE COMMAND is used to perform specific D30 service actions. Presently, there is only one service action avail-
able. Code 101 is used to clear factory diagnostic information stored in the non-volatile memory. If a code other than 101
is entered, the command will be ignored and no actions will be taken. Various self-checking diagnostics are performed in
the background while the D30 is running, and diagnostic information is stored on the non-volatile memory from time to time
based on the self-checking result. Although the diagnostic information is cleared before the D30 is shipped from the factory,
the user may want to clear the diagnostic information for themselves under certain circumstances. For example, it may be
desirable to clear diagnostic information after replacement of hardware. Once the diagnostic information is cleared, all self-
checking variables are reset to their initial state and diagnostics will restart from scratch.

8 SECURITY 8.1 PASSWORD SECURITY

8 SECURITY 8.1PASSWORD SECURITY 8.1.1 OVERVIEW

Two levels of password security are provided via the ACCESS LEVEL setting: command and setting. The factory service level
is not available and intended for factory use only.
The following operations are under command password supervision:
Operating the breakers via faceplate keypad.
Changing the state of virtual inputs.
Clearing the event records.
Clearing the oscillography records.
Clearing fault reports.
Changing the date and time.
Clearing the breaker arcing current.
Clearing the data logger.
Clearing the user-programmable pushbutton states.
The following operations are under setting password supervision:
Changing any setting.
Test mode operation.
The command and setting passwords are defaulted to 0 when the relay is shipped from the factory. When a password is
set to 0, the password security feature is disabled.
The D30 supports password entry from a local or remote connection.
Local access is defined as any access to settings or commands via the faceplate interface. This includes both keypad entry
and the through the faceplate RS232 port. Remote access is defined as any access to settings or commands via any rear
communications port. This includes both Ethernet and RS485 connections. Any changes to the local or remote passwords
enables this functionality.
When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the correspond-
ing connection password. If the connection is to the back of the D30, the remote password must be used. If the connection
is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password must be used.
The PASSWORD ACCESS EVENTS settings allows recording of password access events in the event recorder.
The local setting and command sessions are initiated by the user through the front panel display and are disabled either by
the user or by timeout (via the setting and command level access timeout settings). The remote setting and command ses-
sions are initiated by the user through the EnerVista UR Setup software and are disabled either by the user or by timeout.
The state of the session (local or remote, setting or command) determines the state of the following FlexLogic operands.
ACCESS LOC SETG OFF: Asserted when local setting access is disabled.
ACCESS LOC SETG ON: Asserted when local setting access is enabled.
ACCESS LOC CMND OFF: Asserted when local command access is disabled.

ACCESS REM SETG ON: Asserted when remote setting access is enabled.
ACCESS REM CMND OFF: Asserted when remote command access is disabled.
ACCESS REM CMND ON: Asserted when remote command access is enabled.
The appropriate events are also logged in the Event Recorder as well. The FlexLogic operands and events are updated
every five seconds.
A command or setting write operation is required to update the state of all the remote and local security operands
shown above.

The following access supervision settings are available.


INVALID ATTEMPTS BEFORE LOCKOUT: This setting specifies the number of times an incorrect password can be
entered within a three-minute time span before lockout occurs. When lockout occurs, the LOCAL ACCESS DENIED and
REMOTE ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic operands are set to On. These operands are returned to the Off state upon
expiration of the lockout.
PASSWORD LOCKOUT DURATION: This setting specifies the time that the D30 will lockout password access after
the number of invalid password entries specified by the INVALID ATTEMPS BEFORE LOCKOUT setting has occurred.
The D30 provides a means to raise an alarm upon failed password entry. Should password verification fail while accessing
a password-protected level of the relay (either settings or commands), the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS FlexLogic operand is
asserted. The operand can be programmed to raise an alarm via contact outputs or communications. This feature can be
used to protect against both unauthorized and accidental access attempts.
The UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS operand is reset with the COMMANDS CLEAR RECORDS RESET UNAUTHORIZED
ALARMS command. Therefore, to apply this feature with security, the command level should be password-protected. The
operand does not generate events or targets.
If events or targets are required, the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS operand can be assigned to a digital element programmed
with event logs or targets enabled.

If this setting is On (the default setting), then remote setting access functions as normal; that is, a remote password is
required). If this setting is Off, then remote setting access is blocked even if the correct remote setting password is
provided. If this setting is any other FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to pro-
viding the remote setting password to gain setting access.
ACCESS AUTH TIMEOUT: This setting represents the timeout delay for local setting access. This setting is applicable
when the LOCAL SETTING AUTH setting is programmed to any operand except On. The state of the FlexLogic oper-
and is continuously monitored for an off-to-on transition. When this occurs, local access is permitted and the timer pro-

8.2SETTINGS SECURITY 8.2.1 SETTINGS TEMPLATES

Setting file templates simplify the configuration and commissioning of multiple relays that protect similar assets. An exam-
ple of this is a substation that has ten similar feeders protected by ten UR-series F60 relays.
In these situations, typically 90% or greater of the settings are identical between all devices. The templates feature allows
engineers to configure and test these common settings, then lock them so they are not available to users. For example,
these locked down settings can be hidden from view for field engineers, allowing them to quickly identify and concentrate
on the specific settings.
The remaining settings (typically 10% or less) can be specified as editable and be made available to field engineers install-
ing the devices. These will be settings such as protection element pickup values and CT and VT ratios.
The settings template mode allows the user to define which settings will be visible in EnerVista UR Setup. Settings tem-
plates can be applied to both settings files (settings file templates) and online devices (online settings templates). The func-
tionality is identical for both purposes.
The settings template feature requires that both the EnerVista UR Setup software and the D30 firmware are at ver-
sions 5.40 or higher.

8.2.3 SETTINGS FILE TRACEABILITY

A traceability feature for settings files allows the user to quickly determine if the settings in a D30 device have been
changed since the time of installation from a settings file. When a settings file is transfered to a D30 device, the date, time,
and serial number of the D30 are sent back to EnerVista UR Setup and added to the settings file on the local PC. This infor-
mation can be compared with the D30 actual values at any later date to determine if security has been compromised.
The traceability information is only included in the settings file if a complete settings file is either transferred to the D30
device or obtained from the D30 device. Any partial settings transfers by way of drag and drop do not add the traceability
information to the settings file.

9 THEORY OF OPERATION 9.1 DISTANCE ELEMENTS

9 THEORY OF OPERATION 9.1DISTANCE ELEMENTS 9.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The distance elements use memory voltage for polarization. Additional supervising functions different for ground and
phase distance zones complement a classical mho characteristic to enhance directional integrity and reach accuracy:
To avoid overreaching during resistive faults under heavy pre-fault load conditions, the ground distance elements uti-
lize a load-adaptive (zero-sequence polarized) reactance characteristic to supervise the base mho characteristic.
Both negative and zero-sequence currents are compared with the memory voltage to enhance directional integrity of
the ground distance elements.
It is well known that ground distance elements as per the principle of distance relaying may have limited accuracy
during double-line-to-ground faults. In order to prevent maloperation in such cases the ground elements are blocked by
an extra fault-type comparator that utilizes the phase angle between the negative- and zero-sequence currents.
The phase distance elements use reactance and memory polarized directional characteristics to supervise the mho
characteristic.
Both ground and phase distance elements have the current supervision functions built-in.
The quadrilateral distance characteristic uses the reactance, directional, and current supervising functions as described
above. Right and left blinders adjustable as to both the resistive and angular positions complete the characteristic.
More information regarding the distance characteristics is found in the Distance characteristics section. An example of
analysis of the steady-state operation of the distance elements is found in the Distance elements analysis section.
The relay provides three zones of distance protection. All zones are identical in terms of settings. Ground zones 1 through
3 have an extra zero-sequence directional supervision implemented for their time-delayed operation after the memory
expires. Consequently, zone 1 is recommended as an underreaching element, and zones 2 through 3 are recommended as
overreaching elements and for time-delayed tripping.
The relay uses offset ground directional overcurrent functions as an optional supplement of the ground distance protection
for pilot-aided schemes. The elements are described in more details in the Ground directional overcurrent section.
The relay provides for an adaptive distance reach control to cope with the overreaching and sub-synchronous oscillations
when applied to, or in a near vicinity of series compensated lines. More details can be found in the Application on series
compensated lines section.
The distance elements use phase angle comparators to shape their characteristics as described in the Distance character-
istics section. The voltage and current phasors are estimated using optimized techniques as explained in the next section.

9.1.2 PHASOR ESTIMATION

The relay samples its input AC signals at 64 samples per power system cycle. A fast and accurate frequency tracking
mechanism ensures accurate filtering and phasor estimation during off-nominal frequency conditions.
The phasor estimation process for both currents and voltages is based on the commonly used Fourier algorithm. Due to a
different nature of signal distortions in the current and voltage signals digital pre-filtering algorithms have been, however,
designed and optimized separately for the current and voltage channels.
The current signals are pre-filtered using an improved digital MIMIC filter. The filter removes effectively the DC compo-
nent(s) guaranteeing transient overshoot below 2% regardless of the initial magnitude and time constant of the dc compo-
nent(s). The filter has significantly better frequency response for higher frequencies as compared with a classical MIMIC
filter. This was possible without introducing any significant phase delay thanks to the high sampling rate used by the relay.
The voltage signals are pre-filtered using a special digital filter designed to cope with CVT transients. The patented filter
combines filtering and memory actions enabling the relay to cope with CVT noise under high Source Impedance Ratios
(SIRs). The filter controls underestimation of the fault voltage magnitude to less than 1% of the nominal and prevents cer- 9
tain phase angle anomalies that can be encountered under heavy CVT noise and high SIRs.

Mutual zero-sequence compensation may raise concerns regarding directional integrity on reverse faults in the situation
when the relay gets overcompensated. This problem does not affect the D30 because its ground distance elements use
zero-sequence and negative-sequence currents in extra directional comparators. Both the currents are from the protected
line and are not affected by any compensation as the latter applies only to the reach defining comparators: the mho, reac-
tance and blinder characteristics.

9 THEORY OF OPERATION 9.2 PHASE DISTANCE APPLIED TO POWER TRANSFORMERS

9.2PHASE DISTANCE APPLIED TO POWER TRANSFORMERS 9.2.1 DESCRIPTION

As a Wye-Delta transformer introduces discontinuity for the zero-sequence circuit, the ground distance protection cannot
be applied, except special circumstances, to respond to faults behind the transformer.
The phase distance elements, however, could be developed so that both accurate reach and correct fault phase identifica-
tion is retained for faults behind the power transformer as seen from the relaying point. Without appropriate compensation,
the relay's reach would depend on a type of fault, creating considerable difficulties in applying the relay.
The D30 provides for any location of the VTs and CTs with respect to the involved power transformer and the direction of
any given zone.
In the following equations, the VT and CT locations are referenced as None if the transformer is not present between the
CT/VT and the intended reach point. Otherwise, the location is to be selected as a type of a transformer as seen from the
VT/CT position towards the intended reach point. The following figure explains the adopted rules.

9.2 PHASE DISTANCE APPLIED TO POWER TRANSFORMERS 9 THEORY OF OPERATION

Equations from the Current Transformation and Voltage Transformation columns are used to derive inputs to the three
(AB, BC, and CA) phase distance elements. For example, if the CTs are located at the delta side of the Delta-Wye 11 trans-
former, and a given zone is set to look through the transformer into the system connected to the Wye winding, the CT loca-
tion setting for that zone shall be set to Dy11 and the relay would use 3I B instead of a traditional I A I B for the AB
phase distance element.
The current supervision pickup setting applies to the currents specified in the Current Transformation columns.
A distance zone originates at the location of the VTs (regardless of the location of the CTs). For more information on set-
tings please refer to Chapter 9: Application of Settings.

Normally, in order to respond to the fault shown in the figure, a distance relay shall be applied at the relaying point X. The
relay input signals at this location are shown in the following table.

INPUT PRIMARY SECONDARY


VA 100.4 kV 7.32 38.25 V 7.32

If installed at the location X, the relay would use the following input signals for its phase AB distance element:

I = IA IB = 2.576 kA 27.6 primary or 42.93 A 27.6 secondary

IC 16.976 kA 27.6 10.61 A 27.6

The relay is set as follows:


XFMR VOL CONNECTION = Dy11
XFMR CUR CONNECTION = Dy11

Consequently, the following signals are applied to the phase AB distance element:
1
V = ------- V AB V BC = 10.861 kV 59.9 primary or 94.45 V 59.9 secondary (EQ 9.1)
3

I = 3I B = 58.860 kA 27.6 primary or 36.75 A 27.6 secondary (EQ 9.2)

This results in the following apparent impedance:


94.45 kV 59.9- = 2.570 87.5 secondary
Z app = V
---- = --------------------------------------------- (EQ 9.3)
I 36.75 kA 27.6
The above value is a correct measure of the distance from the VT location to the fault. For relay location 2, this certainly
includes the positive-sequence impedance of the transformer:

Z T ( at 13.8 kV ) = ---------- ---------------------------- = 0.127 90

13.8 2
Z L ( at 13.8 kV ) = 30.11 ----------- = 0.05779 85

Thus, 0.127 90 + 0.05779 85 = 0.1847 88.4 primary side or 2.569 88.4 on the secondary side.
The above example illustrates how the relay maintains correct reach for fault behind power transformers. When installed at
X, the relay shall be set to 0.687 85 secondary in order to reach to the fault shown in the figure. When installed at H,
the relay shall be set to 2.569 88.4 to ensure exactly same coverage.

In order to ensure operation of the element under such circumstances the angle comparator uses a polarizing voltage aug-
mented by the negative-sequence current as per following equations:
Forward-looking element:
S_pol = V_2 + I_2 Z_offset 1 ECA
(EQ 9.5)
S_op = I_2 1 ECA
Reverse-looking element:
S_pol = V_2 + I_2 Z_offset 1 ECA
(EQ 9.6)
S_op = I_2 1 ECA
Where ECA = forward ECA angle (maximum torque angle) and Z_offset = offset impedance. The effect of the augmentation
for forward and reverse fault is shown in the figures above. As long as the offset impedance is not higher than the negative-
sequence line impedance the element will ensure correct and fast fault direction identification for both forward and reverse
faults. The same principle applies to the neutral directional overcurrent element.

9.3.2 EXAMPLE

Consider relay input signals as in the Distance Elements Analysis section and assume an offset impedance of 4 and
ECA and limit angles of 88 and 90, respectively. The relay calculates the following negative-sequence quantities:
V_2 = 6.39 V 159.6; I_2 = 1.37 A 68.1; I_1 = 2.94 A 144.2
and the following signals for the directional unit of the negative-sequence directional overcurrent element:
Forward-looking element: S_pol = 11.87 V 20.2
S_op = 1.37 V 20.2
9
Reverse-looking element: S_pol = 11.87 V 20.2
S_op = 1.37 V 160.0
After comparing the angles, a solid forward indication is given.
Assume further the pickup setting of 0.25 A for both forward and reverse directions, and the Negative-sequence mode
setting entered for the overcurrent unit of the element. The relay calculates the operating signal using the positive-
sequence restraint:

9.4 SERIES COMPENSATED LINES 9 THEORY OF OPERATION

9.4SERIES COMPENSATED LINES 9.4.1 DESCRIPTION

Faults on or in a close vicinity of series compensated lines may create problems for distance protection:
Voltage and/or current inversion may lead to false direction discrimination by directional elements. This may potentially
include both a failure to operate on a forward in-zone fault as well as misoperation on a reverse fault. Both distance
and overcurrent directional elements can be affected.
Series-capacitors and their overvoltage protection equipment (air gaps and/or Metal-Oxide Varistors) have a steady-
state overreaching effect on the apparent impedance seen by the relay - a forward fault may appear much closer to the
relay as compared with the actual fault location. The apparent impedance may be shifted towards the relay by as much
as the total reactance of the series capacitors placed between the potential source of the relay and the fault point. This
extreme steady-state overreach happens during low-current faults when the air-gaps do not flashover or the MOVs do
not conduct any significant current.
In addition to the above steady-state overreach effect; sub-synchronous oscillations in both currents and voltages may
cause significant transient overreach.
Distance protection elements of the D30 deal with the problem of voltage inversion by using 100% memory polarized direc-
tional comparators. As the memory duration is set longer that the slowest fault clearing time for reverse faults, it is guaran-
teed that the distance element would not pick-up on reverse faults should the voltage inversion happen.
At the same time, it is guaranteed that the distance elements would pick-up for all forward faults regardless of any voltage
inversion as long as the memory voltage is used. Before the memory expires the relay would respond to any fault on the
protected line. Stepped distance backup zones operate after the memory voltage expires. But the backup protection
responds to distant faults that do not cause any inversion of the positive-sequence voltage. As a result, the time-delayed
stepped-distance zones are guaranteed to operate.
Distance protection elements of the D30 deal with the problem of current inversion by using a multi-input-comparator
approach as described in the Distance Characteristics subsection. Should the current inversion happen, the distance ele-
ments are secure on reverse faults because multiple conditions involving fault-loop, negative-sequence and zero-sequence
currents and the memory voltage are checked prior to declaring a forward fault.
On close-in forward faults beyond the series capacitors as seen from the relaying point, the current inversion phenomenon
may take place for a short period of time. The condition cannot sustain for a long time as very high fault currents would
occur causing large voltage drops across the series capacitors and prompting the overvoltage protection of the capacitors
to operate quickly. This would effectively remove the series compensation and eliminate the current inversion. However,
when the currents used by distance comparator (fault-loop current for ground and phase distance protection, and the nega-
tive- and zero-sequence currents for ground elements) stay shifted by more than 90 degrees from their natural fault position
determined by the user as the element characteristic angle, the distance elements may fail to pick-up on such a forward
fault for the brief period of current inversion. This is an inherent attribute of the 100% memory polarized mho element, and
not a weakness particular to the D30 relay.
Therefore, for dependability, it is recommended to use high-set phase overcurrent protection for direct tripping on close-in
faults potentially causing current inversion, and overreaching ground fault directional overcurrent functions (such as nega-
tive-sequence, ground or neutral) for communication-aided schemes.
The problem of steady-state overreaching due to the negative reactance of the series capacitors may be addressed in the
D30 in a traditional way by shortening the reach of an underreaching distance elements to the net inductive reactance of
the line between the potential source and the far end busbar(s). This generic approach has two major drawbacks. First, it
leaves large portion of the line uncovered by the directly tripping distance protection. Second, it does not solve the transient
overreaching problem caused by sub-synchronous oscillations.
Therefore, the D30 offers a unique option for dynamic reach control that is effectively based on the magnitude of the current
flowing through the series capacitor bank(s). The underreaching distance functions can be set as for plain uncompensated
9 line, i.e. using the impedance of the line alone, and the relay would control an effective reach accordingly using the current
magnitude as illustrated in the figure below.
The reach is reduced sufficiently to cope with both steady-state and transient overreach phenomena. For large degrees of
compensation and small-current faults, the transient overreach may be as high as 100%. This means that fast distance pro-
tection is not achievable. The adaptive D30's mechanism would guarantee security on external faults. Overreaching ground
fault directional overcurrent functions (such as negative-sequence, ground or neutral) shall be used for dependability.

Section (a) of the figure below shows the effect of adaptive reach control for low-current external fault. The reach is reduced
sufficiently to cope with both transient and steady-state overreach. Section (b) shows a high-current external fault. The air
gaps or MOVs conduct majority of the fault current and neither steady-state nor transient overreach takes place. The relay
does not reduce its reach as it is not necessary. Section (c) shows a high-current internal fault. Because of the large cur-
rent, the reach is not reduced and the element responds to this internal fault. Traditional approach would leave this fault out
of the relay reach.
The neutral and negative-sequence directional protection functions of the relay cope with the voltage and/or current inver-
sions by adding appropriate offset to their polarizing signals as explained in the Ground Directional Overcurrent section.
The offset impedance can always be successfully selected to guarantee correct fault direction discrimination regardless of
the degree of compensation and location of the series capacitors and the potential source.
Refer to Chapter 9: Application of Settings for detailed recommendations on settings for series compensation applications.

Fault type determination is required for calculation of fault location the algorithm uses the angle between the negative and
positive sequence components of the relay currents. To improve accuracy and speed of operation, the fault components of
the currents are used; that is, the pre-fault phasors are subtracted from the measured current phasors. In addition to the
angle relationships, certain extra checks are performed on magnitudes of the negative and zero-sequence currents.
The single-ended fault location method assumes that the fault components of the currents supplied from the local (A) and
remote (B) systems are in phase. The figure below shows an equivalent system for fault location.

The following equations hold true for this equivalent system.

where: m = sought pu distance to fault, Z = positive sequence impedance of the line.


The currents from the local and remote systems can be parted between their fault (F) and pre-fault load (pre) components:
I A = I AF + I Apre (EQ 9.8)

and neglecting shunt parameters of the line:


I B = I BF I Apre (EQ 9.9)

10 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 10.1 APPLICATION GUIDELINES

10 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 10.1APPLICATION GUIDELINES 10.1.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter provides general application guidelines for stepped distance, overcurrent and pilot protection. Where relevant,
design details and performance characteristics of the D30 are given to facilitate the process of setting the relay for a given
application.

10.1.2 IMPACT OF MEMORY POLARIZATION

As explained in Chapter 8, the D30 uses a memorized positive sequence voltage as a polarizing signal in order to achieve
dependable operation for forward faults and secure non-operation for reverse faults.
The dynamic shift of the characteristic ensures improved directionality, but it also means that if a backup function is
required for a reverse fault on the bus, then it is appropriate to reverse Zone 3 so that a time delayed backup function may
be obtained. As mentioned earlier, it may be beneficial to also avoid extremely large reach settings by setting a remote
backup so that it is reverse looking. This strategy can be beneficial if the reduced reach enhances the discrimination
between the load and fault conditions.

10.1.3 HIGH SET OVERCURRENT ELEMENTS

Especially at low SIR values, fast fault clearance times may be seen as extremely important, both from system stability, and
from equipment damage viewpoints. The high-set overcurrent element, when set appropriately, can be extremely useful in
achieving these goals. It helps the setting calculations if the system impedances are reasonably well known.
The overcurrent pick up should be set to the greater of the following values:
1. The maximum infeed seen by the relay, for a close in reverse fault.
2. The maximum fault level seen by the relay for a fault at 100% of the protected line.
The maximum error of the phase overcurrent elements is below 2%. A safety factor of 1.25 should be used to account for
relay errors and system impedance uncertainty.
If CT saturation is an issue such as close to a generation where long lasting dc components are likely to saturate the CTs, it
should be noted that the instantaneous overcurrent elements require 1.33 cycle of data to operate for a multiple of pickup of
1.01. For higher multiples of pickup, the relation between the multiple of pickup and the amount of data required for opera-
tion before complete CT saturation is approximately linear. For example, for a multiple of pickup of 4, approximately 1.33 /
4 = 0.332 of power cycle is required by the phase instantaneous overcurrent element to operate. The above information
should not be confused with the operating time, which includes some inherent delays such as a trip rated output contact.

10.2 DISTANCE ELEMENTS (STEPPED DISTANCE SCHEME) 10 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS

10.2DISTANCE ELEMENTS (STEPPED DISTANCE SCHEME) 10.2.1 PHASE DISTANCE

a) PHASE CURRENT SUPERVISION AND THE FUSE FAILURE ELEMENT


The phase-to-phase (delta) current is used to supervise the phase distance elements, primarily to ensure that in a de-ener-
gized state the distance elements will not be picked up due to noise or induced voltages, on the line.
However, this supervision feature may also be employed to prevent operation under fuse failure conditions. This obviously
requires that the setting must be above maximum load current and less than the minimum fault conditions for which opera-
tion is expected. This potential problem may be avoided by the use of a separate fuse fail function, which means that the
phase current supervision can be set much lower, typically two times the capacitance charging current of the line.
The usage of the fuse fail function is also important during double-contingency events such as an external fault during fuse
fail conditions. The current supervision alone would not prevent maloperation in such circumstances.
It must be kept in mind that the fuse failure element provided on the D30 needs some time to detect fuse fail conditions.
This may create a race between the instantaneous zone 1 and the fuse failure element. Therefore, for maximum security, it
is recommended to both set the current supervision above the maximum load current and use the fuse failure function. The
current supervision prevents maloperation immediately after the fuse fail condition giving some time for the fuse failure ele-
ment to take over and block the distance elements permanently. This is of a secondary importance for time-delayed zones
2 and up as the fuse failure element has some extra time for guaranteed operation. The current supervision may be set
below the maximum load current for the time delayed zones.
Blocking distance elements during fuse fail conditions may not be acceptable in some applications and/or under some pro-
tection philosophies. Applied solutions may vary from not using the fuse failure element for blocking at all; through using it
and modifying through FlexLogic and multiple setting groups mechanisms other protection functions or other relays to
provide some protection after detecting fuse fail conditions and blocking the distance elements; to using it and accepting
the fact that the distance protection will not respond to subsequent internal faults until the problem is addressed.
To be fully operational, the Fuse Failure element must be enabled, and its output FlexLogic operand must be indi-
cated as the blocking signal for the selected protection elements.
NOTE
For convenience, the current supervision threshold incorporates the 3 factor.

b) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 1


As typically used for direct tripping, the zone 1 reach must be chosen so that it does not extend beyond the far end(s) of the
protected line. Zone 1 provides nominally instantaneous protection for any phase fault within a pre-determined distance
from the relay location. To ensure that no overreach occurs, typically requires a setting of 80 to 90% of the line length,
which covers CT and VT errors, relay inaccuracy and transient overreach as well as uncertainty in the line impedance for
each phase, although transposition may minimize this latter concern.
The total relay inaccuracy including both steady state and transient overreach even when supplied from CVTs under the
source impedance ratios of up to 30, is below 5%.

c) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 2


Zone 2 is an overreaching element, which essentially covers the final 10 to 20% whole of the line length with a time delay.
The additional function for the zone 2 is as a timed backup for faults on the remote bus. Typically the reach is set to 125%
of the positive-sequence impedance of the line, to ensure operation, with an adequate margin, for a fault at 100% of the line
length. The necessary time delay must ensure that coordination is achieved with the clearance of a close-in fault on the
next line section, including the breaker operating time.
The zone 2 time delay is typically set from 0.2 to 0.6 seconds, although this may have to be reviewed more carefully if a
short line terminates on the remote bus, since the two zone 2 elements may overlap and therefore not coordinate in a sat-
isfactory manner.

d) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 3


If a remote backup philosophy is followed, then the reach of this element must be set to account for any infeed at the
remote bus, plus the impedance of the longest line which terminates on this remote bus. The time delay must coordinate
with other time-delayed protections on any remote line. Circuit loading limitations created by a long zone reach may be
overcome by using lens or quadrilateral characteristics and/or a load encroachment supervising characteristic. Consider-

ation should also be given to a situation where the load impedance may enter into the relay characteristic for a time longer
than the chosen time delay, which could occur transiently during a system power swing. For this reason the power swing
blocking function should be used.

a) NEUTRAL CURRENT SUPERVISION


The current supervision for the ground distance elements responds to an internally calculated neutral current (3 I_0). The
setting for this element should be based on twice the zero-sequence line capacitance current or the maximum zero-
sequence unbalance under maximum load conditions. This element should not be used to prevent an output when the load
impedance is inside the distance characteristic on a steady state basis.

b) POLARIZING CURRENT AND NON-HOMOGENEITY CORRECTION ANGLE OF THE QUAD CHARACTERISTIC


An ideal reactance line for single-line-to-ground faults is polarized from the fault current flowing through the fault resistance.
Such a line defines constant reach and could be implemented by the following angle comparator:
I Z V vs. j I F (EQ 10.1)

The relay could only approximate the unknown fault current by the zero-sequence or the negative-sequence currents mea-
sured at the relaying point. Depending on system parameters, either the zero-sequence or the negative-sequence current
presents better approximation of the fault current angle.
Given the equivalent systems shown in the figure below, the angular difference between the zero-sequence or negative-
sequence currents at the relay, and the fault current can be calculated as follows:
IF Z 0A + Z 0L + Z 0B
0 = angle ---------------------- = angle ------------------------------------------- (EQ 10.2)
I 0_RELAY Z 0B + ( 1 d )Z 0L

IF Z 1A + Z 1L + Z 1B

I 2_RELAY Z 1B + ( 1 d )Z 1L

where: A is the local equivalent system


B is the remote equivalent system

10.2 DISTANCE ELEMENTS (STEPPED DISTANCE SCHEME) 10 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS

If abs ( 0 ) < abs ( 2 ) , the zero-sequence network is more homogenous (the zero-sequence current better approximates
the fault current), and zero-sequence polarizing should be selected. Otherwise, negative-sequence is a better polarizing
signal.
The calculated angles reflect errors between the ideal and applied polarizing angles. Therefore, after selecting the polar-
izing current, the corresponding angle should be chosen as the non-homogeneity correction angle. For example, calcula-
tions yielding 0 = 5 and 2 = 1 should result in selecting the negative-sequence for polarization, and the value of 1
for non-homogeneity correction.
Quite often the non-homogeneity correction angle is used to apply extra security rather than correct the angle between the
relay and the fault currents. For extra security the angle should be set to negative values.
Ability to select an optimum polarizing signal and to correct for non-homogeneity should be approached with care. The best
polarizing signal and the correcting angle both depend on system parameters and intended reach of the zone. If the system
configuration is static, the selection is straightforward.
However, if the system configuration may change significantly, all the relevant system topologies shall be considered for
calculations. Either a compromise choice is made, or different settings are applied via switchable setting groups depending
on system conditions. In highly non-homogenous and dynamic systems where the correction for non-homogeneity is not
feasible, conservative reach (reduced) and/or correction angle (negative) settings should be considered.

c) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 1


The zone 1 reach must be set so that nominally instantaneous operation does not extend beyond the end of the protected
line. However this may be somewhat more complicated than for the phase elements, because of zero sequence mutual
induction with an adjacent parallel line, possibly carried on the same tower, which can be out of service and grounded at
multiple points. A fault beyond 100% of the protected line may cause overreach unless the reach is reduced significantly,
sometimes as low as 65% of the line length. If the line being protected does not have a significant interaction with an adja-
cent circuit, then the typical 80% setting may be used. If there is significant mutual coupling between the parallel lines, then
the mutual compensation feature of the ground distance elements can be used instead of a drastic reduction in the reach.
However, even in this case, there is more uncertainty as compared with the phase distance elements because the zero-
sequence impedance of the line and thus the zero-sequence-compensating factors may vary significantly due to weather
and other conditions.

d) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 2


To ensure that the zone 2 can see 100% of the line, inter-circuit mutual effects must be considered, as they can contribute
to a significant under-reach. Typically this may occur on double circuit lines, when both lines may carry the same current.
An analytical study should be carried out to determine the appropriate reach setting.
The main purpose of this element is to operate for faults beyond the reach of the local zone 1 element, and therefore a time
delay must be used similar to the phase fault case.

e) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 3


This remote back up function must have a reach which is set to account for any infeed at the remote bus, plus the imped-
ance of the longest line which terminates on this remote bus. Similar to the phase fault case, a zone 3 element must be
time coordinated with timed clearances on the next section.

10 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 10.3 SERIES COMPENSATED LINES

10.3SERIES COMPENSATED LINES 10.3.1 INTRODUCTION

For reasons described in Chapter 8: Theory of Operation, it is recommended to apply a combination of distance, ground
directional overcurrent and high-set overcurrent functions for protection of series compensated lines.
The setting rules described below must take into account variety of system configurations, particularly a status of series
capacitors (in-service, by-passed). Either the worst-case topology shall be considered or - if possible - adaptive settings
shall be applied though the multiple settings groups mechanism.
A line compensating capacitor is a bank of three physical capacitors and their overvoltage protecting devices (air gaps and/
or MOVs). If none of the MOV/gaps conducts any significant current, the positive-, negative- and zero-sequence reactance
of the three-phase bank equal the reactance of the actual (phase) capacitors. Under asymmetrical conditions, however,
such as a single line to ground fault, when only one MOV/gap may operate, the series capacitor bank would create extra
(series) asymmetry in addition to the fault (shunt) asymmetry. The positive-, negative- and zero-sequence impedances will
differ from each other and will not equal the impedance of the phase capacitors. Moreover, there may be mutual coupling
between the sequence networks representing the series capacitor bank. This makes analytical analysis of fault conditions
very burdensome. For setting calculations, however, it is justified to assume the zero-, positive-, and negative-sequence
reactance of the capacitor bank equal the reactance of the actual (phase) capacitors. This represents a worst-case low-cur-
rent fault scenario, when the steady-state effects of series compensation are most weighty.

10.3.2 DISTANCE

Traditionally, the reach setting of an underreaching distance function shall be set based on the net inductive impedance
between the potential source of the relay and the far-end busbar, or location for which the zone must not overreach. Faults
behind series capacitors on the protected and adjacent lines need to be considered for this purpose. For further illustration
a sample system shown in the figure below is considered.

Protected Line
Figure 102: SAMPLE SERIES COMPENSATED SYSTEM
Assuming 20% security margin, the underreaching zone shall be set as follows.
At the Sending Bus, one must consider an external fault at F1 as the 5 capacitor would contribute to the overreaching
effect. Any fault behind F1 is less severe as extra inductive line impedance increases the apparent impedance:
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 3 5) = 1.6 if the line-side (B) VTs are used
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 4 3 5) = 1.6 if the bus-side (A) VTs are used
The negative value means that an underreaching zone cannot be used as the circuit between the potential source of the
relay and an external fault for which the relay must not pick-up, is overcompensated, i.e. capacitive.
At the Receiving Bus, one must consider a fault at F2:
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 4 2) = 3.2 if the line-side (B) VTs are used
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 4 3 2) = 0.8 if the bus-side (A) VTs are used
Practically, however, to cope with the effect of sub-synchronous oscillations, one may need to reduce the reach even more.
As the characteristics of sub-synchronous oscillations are in complex relations with fault and system parameters, no solid
setting recommendations are given with respect to extra security margin for sub-synchronous oscillations. It is strongly rec-
ommended to use a power system simulator to verify the reach settings or to use an adaptive D30 feature for dynamic
reach control. 10
If the adaptive reach control feature is used, the PHS DIST Z1 VOLT LEVEL setting shall be set accordingly.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 10-5


10.3 SERIES COMPENSATED LINES 10 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS

This setting is a sum of the overvoltage protection levels for all the series capacitors located between the relay potential
source and the far-end busbar, or location for which the zone must not overreach. The setting is entered in pu of the phase
VT nominal voltage (RMS, not peak value).
If a minimum fault current level (phase current) is causing a voltage drop across a given capacitor that prompts its air gap to
flash over or its MOV to carry practically all the current, then the series capacitor shall be excluded from the calculations
(the capacitor is immediately by-passed by its overvoltage protection system and does not cause any overreach problems).
If a minimum fault current does not guarantee an immediate capacitor by-pass, then the capacitor must be included in the
calculation: its overvoltage protection level, either air gap flash-over voltage or MOV knee-point voltage, shall be used
(RMS, not peak value).
Assuming none of the series capacitors in the sample system is guaranteed to get by-passed, the following calculations
apply:
For the Sending Bus: 0.5 + 0.7 = 1.2 pu if the line-side (B) VTs are used
0.6 + 0.5 + 0.7 = 1.8 pu if the bus-side (A) VTs are used
For the Receiving Bus: 0.6 + 0.5 = 1.1 pu if the line-side (B) VTs are used
0.6 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 1.6 pu if the bus-side (A) VTs are used

10.3.3 GROUND DIRECTIONAL OVERCURRENT

Ground directional overcurrent function (negative-sequence or neutral) uses an offset impedance to guarantee correct fault
direction discrimination. The following setting rules apply.
1. If the net impedance between the potential source and the local equivalent system is inductive, then there is no need
for an offset. Otherwise, the offset impedance shall be at least the net capacitive reactance.
2. The offset cannot be higher than the net inductive reactance between the potential source and the remote equivalent
system. For simplicity and extra security, the far-end busbar may be used rather than the remote equivalent system.
As the ground directional functions are meant to provide maximum fault resistance coverage, it is justified to assume that
the fault current is very low and none of the series capacitors is guaranteed to get by-passed. Consider settings of the neg-
ative-sequence directional overcurrent protection element for the Sample Series Compensated System.
For the Sending Bus relay, bus-side VTs:
Net inductive reactance from the relay into the local system = 2 + 3 = 1 > 0; there is no need for offset.
Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = 4 + 10 3 = 3 ; the offset cannot be higher than 3 .
It is recommended to use 1.5 offset impedance.
For the Sending Bus relay, line-side VTs:
Net inductive reactance from relay into local system = 2 + 3 4 = 3 < 0; an offset impedance 3 must be used.
Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = 10 3 = 7 ; the offset cannot be higher than 7 .
It is recommended to use 5 offset impedance.
For the Receiving Bus relay, bus-side VTs:
Net inductive reactance from relay into local system = 5 + 7 = 2 > 0; there is no need for offset.
Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = 3 + 10 4 = 3 ; the offset cannot be higher than 3 .
It is recommended to use 1.5 offset impedance.
For the Receiving Bus relay, line-side VTs:
Net inductive reactance from relay into local system = 3 5 + 7 = 1 < 0; an offset impedance 1 must be used.
Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = 10 4 = 6 ; the offset cannot be higher than 6 .
It is recommended to use 3.5 offset impedance.

10.4PHASE DISTANCE THROUGH POWER TRANSFORMERS 10.4.1 PHASE DISTANCE PROTECTION

a) DESCRIPTION
Phase distance elements of the D30 could be set to respond to faults beyond any three-phase power transformer. The relay
guarantees accurate reach and targeting for any phase fault. Moreover, the current and voltage transformers may be
located independently on different sides of the transformer.
The following setting rules apply to this feature:
1. A given distance zone is terminated by location of the VTs, not the CTs.
2. Consequently, the positive-sequence impedance of a transformer must be included in the reach setting only if the
transformer is located between the potential source and the intended reach point.
3. The current signals require compensation if the transformer is located between the CTs and the intended reach point.
If this is the case the CT connection setting shall be set to transformer connection and vector group as seen from the
CTs toward the reach point. Otherwise, the CT connection setting shall be set to "None".
4. The voltage signals require compensation if the transformer is located between the VTs and the intended reach point.
If this is the case the VT connection setting shall be set to transformer connection and vector group as seen from the
VTs toward the reach point. Otherwise, the VT connection setting shall be set to "None".
5. The reach setting is entered in secondary ohms and as such must take into account location and ratios of VTs and CTs
as well as voltage ratio of the involved power transformer.
The following equations explain the setting rules. Consider two applications as shown in the figure below:

b) ZONE 1 SETTING IN APPLICATION (A)


As the transformer is located between the potential source and the reach point for Zone 1, the reach impedance must
include the positive-sequence impedance of the transformer. In addition, the primary impedance must be re-calculated for
the voltage level of the VTs and CTs, and eventually, re-calculated to secondary quantities:
V H 2 n CT
Z 1 = ( Z T ( at X ) + Z x ) ------- --------- (EQ 10.4)
V X n VT

c) ZONE 3 SETTING IN APPLICATION (A)


As the transformer is not located between the potential source and the reach point for Zone 3, the reach impedance must
not include the positive-sequence impedance of the transformer. Because both VTs and CTs are located on the same side
as the intended reach point, no correction for the transformer ratio is required. The primary impedance must be only re-cal-
culated to secondary quantities:
n CT
Z 3 = Z H --------- (EQ 10.5)
n VT

d) ZONE 1 SETTING IN APPLICATION (B)


As the transformer is not located between the potential source and the reach point for Z1, the reach impedance must not
include the positive-sequence impedance of the transformer. The CTs are located on the other side of the transformer, thus
transformer ratio must be included:
VH n CT
Z 1 = Z X ------- --------- (EQ 10.6)
VX n VT

e) ZONE 3 SETTING IN APPLICATION (B)


As the transformer is located between the potential source and the reach point for Zone 3, the reach impedance must
include the positive-sequence impedance of the transformer. The VTs are located on the other side of the transformer, thus
transformer ratio must be included:
VX n CT
Z 3 = ( Z T ( at H ) + Z H ) ------- --------- (EQ 10.7)
VH n VT

APPENDIX B B.1 MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL

APPENDIX B MODBUS COMMUNICATIONSB.1MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL B.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The UR-series relays support a number of communications protocols to allow connection to equipment such as personal
computers, RTUs, SCADA masters, and programmable logic controllers. The Modicon Modbus RTU protocol is the most
basic protocol supported by the UR. Modbus is available via RS232 or RS485 serial links or via ethernet (using the Mod-
bus/TCP specification). The following description is intended primarily for users who wish to develop their own master com-
munication drivers and applies to the serial Modbus RTU protocol. Note that:
The UR always acts as a slave device, meaning that it never initiates communications; it only listens and responds to B
requests issued by a master computer.
For Modbus, a subset of the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) protocol format is supported that allows extensive monitor-
ing, programming, and control functions using read and write register commands.

B.1.2 PHYSICAL LAYER

The Modbus RTU protocol is hardware-independent so that the physical layer can be any of a variety of standard hard-
ware configurations including RS232 and RS485. The relay includes a faceplate (front panel) RS232 port and two rear ter-
minal communications ports that may be configured as RS485, fiber optic, 10Base-T, or 10Base-F. Data flow is half-duplex
in all configurations. See chapter 3 for details on communications wiring.
Each data byte is transmitted in an asynchronous format consisting of 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and possibly 1 parity
bit. This produces a 10 or 11 bit data frame. This can be important for transmission through modems at high bit rates (11 bit
data frames are not supported by many modems at baud rates greater than 300).
The baud rate and parity are independently programmable for each communications port. Baud rates of 300, 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 33600, 38400, 57600, or 115200 bps are available. Even, odd, and no parity are avail-
able. Refer to the Communications section of chapter 5 for further details.
The master device in any system must know the address of the slave device with which it is to communicate. The relay will
not act on a request from a master if the address in the request does not match the relays slave address (unless the
address is the broadcast address see below).
A single setting selects the slave address used for all ports, with the exception that for the faceplate port, the relay will
accept any address when the Modbus RTU protocol is used.

B.1.3 DATA LINK LAYER

Communications takes place in packets which are groups of asynchronously framed byte data. The master transmits a
packet to the slave and the slave responds with a packet. The end of a packet is marked by dead-time on the communica-
tions line. The following describes general format for both transmit and receive packets. For exact details on packet format-
ting, refer to subsequent sections describing each function code.

Table B1: MODBUS PACKET FORMAT


DESCRIPTION SIZE
SLAVE ADDRESS 1 byte
FUNCTION CODE 1 byte
DATA N bytes
CRC 2 bytes
DEAD TIME 3.5 bytes transmission time

SLAVE ADDRESS: This is the address of the slave device that is intended to receive the packet sent by the master
and to perform the desired action. Each slave device on a communications bus must have a unique address to prevent
bus contention. All of the relays ports have the same address which is programmable from 1 to 254; see chapter 5 for
details. Only the addressed slave will respond to a packet that starts with its address. Note that the faceplate port is an
exception to this rule; it will act on a message containing any slave address.
A master transmit packet with slave address 0 indicates a broadcast command. All slaves on the communication link
take action based on the packet, but none respond to the master. Broadcast mode is only recognized when associated
with function code 05h. For any other function code, a packet with broadcast mode slave address 0 will be ignored.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System B-1


B.1 MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL APPENDIX B

FUNCTION CODE: This is one of the supported functions codes of the unit which tells the slave what action to per-
form. See the Supported Function Codes section for complete details. An exception response from the slave is indi-
cated by setting the high order bit of the function code in the response packet. See the Exception Responses section
for further details.
DATA: This will be a variable number of bytes depending on the function code. This may include actual values, set-
tings, or addresses sent by the master to the slave or by the slave to the master.
CRC: This is a two byte error checking code. The RTU version of Modbus includes a 16-bit cyclic redundancy check
B (CRC-16) with every packet which is an industry standard method used for error detection. If a Modbus slave device
receives a packet in which an error is indicated by the CRC, the slave device will not act upon or respond to the packet
thus preventing any erroneous operations. See the CRC-16 Algorithm section for details on calculating the CRC.
DEAD TIME: A packet is terminated when no data is received for a period of 3.5 byte transmission times (about 15 ms
at 2400 bps, 2 ms at 19200 bps, and 300 s at 115200 bps). Consequently, the transmitting device must not allow gaps
between bytes longer than this interval. Once the dead time has expired without a new byte transmission, all slaves
start listening for a new packet from the master except for the addressed slave.

B.1.4 CRC-16 ALGORITHM

The CRC-16 algorithm essentially treats the entire data stream (data bits only; start, stop and parity ignored) as one contin-
uous binary number. This number is first shifted left 16 bits and then divided by a characteristic polynomial
(11000000000000101B). The 16-bit remainder of the division is appended to the end of the packet, MSByte first. The
resulting packet including CRC, when divided by the same polynomial at the receiver will give a zero remainder if no trans-
mission errors have occurred. This algorithm requires the characteristic polynomial to be reverse bit ordered. The most sig-
nificant bit of the characteristic polynomial is dropped, since it does not affect the value of the remainder.
A C programming language implementation of the CRC algorithm will be provided upon request.

APPENDIX B B.2 MODBUS FUNCTION CODES

B.2MODBUS FUNCTION CODES B.2.1 SUPPORTED FUNCTION CODES

Modbus officially defines function codes from 1 to 127 though only a small subset is generally needed. The relay supports
some of these functions, as summarized in the following table. Subsequent sections describe each function code in detail.

FUNCTION CODE MODBUS DEFINITION GE MULTILIN DEFINITION


HEX DEC
03 3 Read holding registers Read actual values or settings
B
04 4 Read holding registers Read actual values or settings
05 5 Force single coil Execute operation
06 6 Preset single register Store single setting
10 16 Preset multiple registers Store multiple settings

B.2.2 READ ACTUAL VALUES OR SETTINGS (FUNCTION CODE 03/04H)

This function code allows the master to read one or more consecutive data registers (actual values or settings) from a relay.
Data registers are always 16-bit (two-byte) values transmitted with high order byte first. The maximum number of registers
that can be read in a single packet is 125. See the Modbus memory map table for exact details on the data registers.
Since some PLC implementations of Modbus only support one of function codes 03h and 04h. The D30 interpretation
allows either function code to be used for reading one or more consecutive data registers. The data starting address will
determine the type of data being read. Function codes 03h and 04h are therefore identical.
The following table shows the format of the master and slave packets. The example shows a master device requesting
three register values starting at address 4050h from slave device 11h (17 decimal); the slave device responds with the val-
ues 40, 300, and 0 from registers 4050h, 4051h, and 4052h, respectively.

B.2.6 EXCEPTION RESPONSES

Programming or operation errors usually happen because of illegal data in a packet. These errors result in an exception
response from the slave. The slave detecting one of these errors sends a response packet to the master with the high order
bit of the function code set to 1.
The following table shows the format of the master and slave packets. The example shows a master device sending the
unsupported function code 39h to slave device 11.

B.3 FILE TRANSFERS APPENDIX B

B.3FILE TRANSFERS B.3.1 OBTAINING RELAY FILES VIA MODBUS

a) DESCRIPTION
The UR relay has a generic file transfer facility, meaning that you use the same method to obtain all of the different types of
files from the unit. The Modbus registers that implement file transfer are found in the "Modbus File Transfer (Read/Write)"
and "Modbus File Transfer (Read Only)" modules, starting at address 3100 in the Modbus Memory Map. To read a file from
the UR relay, use the following steps:
B 1. Write the filename to the "Name of file to read" register using a write multiple registers command. If the name is shorter
than 80 characters, you may write only enough registers to include all the text of the filename. Filenames are not case
sensitive.
2. Repeatedly read all the registers in "Modbus File Transfer (Read Only)" using a read multiple registers command. It is
not necessary to read the entire data block, since the UR relay will remember which was the last register you read. The
"position" register is initially zero and thereafter indicates how many bytes (2 times the number of registers) you have
read so far. The "size of..." register indicates the number of bytes of data remaining to read, to a maximum of 244.
3. Keep reading until the "size of..." register is smaller than the number of bytes you are transferring. This condition indi-
cates end of file. Discard any bytes you have read beyond the indicated block size.
4. If you need to re-try a block, read only the "size of.." and "block of data", without reading the position. The file pointer is
only incremented when you read the position register, so the same data block will be returned as was read in the pre-
vious operation. On the next read, check to see if the position is where you expect it to be, and discard the previous
block if it is not (this condition would indicate that the UR relay did not process your original read request).
The UR relay retains connection-specific file transfer information, so files may be read simultaneously on multiple Modbus
connections.

b) OTHER PROTOCOLS
All the files available via Modbus may also be retrieved using the standard file transfer mechanisms in other protocols (for
example, TFTP or MMS).

c) COMTRADE, OSCILLOGRAPHY, AND DATA LOGGER FILES


Oscillography and data logger files are formatted using the COMTRADE file format per IEEE PC37.111 Draft 7c (02 Sep-
tember 1997). The files may be obtained in either text or binary COMTRADE format.

d) READING OSCILLOGRAPHY FILES


Familiarity with the oscillography feature is required to understand the following description. Refer to the Oscillography sec-
tion in Chapter 5 for additional details.
The Oscillography Number of Triggers register is incremented by one every time a new oscillography file is triggered (cap-
tured) and cleared to zero when oscillography data is cleared. When a new trigger occurs, the associated oscillography file
is assigned a file identifier number equal to the incremented value of this register; the newest file number is equal to the
Oscillography_Number_of_Triggers register. This register can be used to determine if any new data has been captured by
periodically reading it to see if the value has changed; if the number has increased then new data is available.
The Oscillography Number of Records register specifies the maximum number of files (and the number of cycles of data
per file) that can be stored in memory of the relay. The Oscillography Available Records register specifies the actual num-
ber of files that are stored and still available to be read out of the relay.
Writing Yes (i.e. the value 1) to the Oscillography Clear Data register clears oscillography data files, clears both the Oscil-
lography Number of Triggers and Oscillography Available Records registers to zero, and sets the Oscillography Last
Cleared Date to the present date and time.
To read binary COMTRADE oscillography files, read the following filenames:
OSCnnnn.CFG and OSCnnn.DAT
Replace nnn with the desired oscillography trigger number. For ASCII format, use the following file names
OSCAnnnn.CFG and OSCAnnn.DAT

APPENDIX B B.3 FILE TRANSFERS

e) READING DATA LOGGER FILES


Familiarity with the data logger feature is required to understand this description. Refer to the Data Logger section of Chap-
ter 5 for details. To read the entire data logger in binary COMTRADE format, read the following files.
datalog.cfg and datalog.dat
To read the entire data logger in ASCII COMTRADE format, read the following files.
dataloga.cfg and dataloga.dat
To limit the range of records to be returned in the COMTRADE files, append the following to the filename before writing it:
B
To read from a specific time to the end of the log: <space> startTime
To read a specific range of records: <space> startTime <space> endTime
Replace <startTime> and <endTime> with Julian dates (seconds since Jan. 1 1970) as numeric text.

f) READING EVENT RECORDER FILES


To read the entire event recorder contents in ASCII format (the only available format), use the following filename:
EVT.TXT
To read from a specific record to the end of the log, use the following filename:
EVTnnn.TXT (replace nnn with the desired starting record number)
To read from a specific record to another specific record, use the following filename:
EVT.TXT xxxxx yyyyy (replace xxxxx with the starting record number and yyyyy with the ending record number)

g) READING FAULT REPORT FILES


Fault report data has been available via the D30 file retrieval mechanism since UR firmware version 2.00. The file name is
faultReport#####.htm. The ##### refers to the fault report record number. The fault report number is a counter that
indicates how many fault reports have ever occurred. The counter rolls over at a value of 65535. Only the last ten fault
reports are available for retrieval; a request for a non-existent fault report file will yield a null file. The current value fault
report counter is available in Number of Fault Reports Modbus register at location 0x3020.
For example, if 14 fault reports have occurred then the files faultReport5.htm, faultReport6.htm, up to
faultReport14.htm are available to be read. The expected use of this feature has an external master periodically poll-
ing the Number of Fault Reports' register. If the value changes, then the master reads all the new files.
The contents of the file is in standard HTML notation and can be viewed via any commercial browser.

B.3 FILE TRANSFERS APPENDIX B

B.3.2 MODBUS PASSWORD OPERATION

The D30 supports password entry from a local or remote connection.


Local access is defined as any access to settings or commands via the faceplate interface. This includes both keypad entry
and the faceplate RS232 connection. Remote access is defined as any access to settings or commands via any rear com-
munications port. This includes both Ethernet and RS485 connections. Any changes to the local or remote passwords
enables this functionality.
B When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the correspond-
ing connection password. If the connection is to the back of the D30, the remote password must be used. If the connection
is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password must be used.
The command password is set up at memory location 4000. Storing a value of 0 removes command password protection.
When reading the password setting, the encrypted value (zero if no password is set) is returned. Command security is
required to change the command password. Similarly, the setting password is set up at memory location 4002. These are
the same settings and encrypted values found in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP PASSWORD SECURITY menu via the
keypad. Enabling password security for the faceplate display will also enable it for Modbus, and vice-versa.
To gain command level security access, the command password must be entered at memory location 4008. To gain setting
level security access, the setting password must be entered at memory location 400A. The entered setting password must
match the current setting password setting, or must be zero, to change settings or download firmware.
Command and setting passwords each have a 30 minute timer. Each timer starts when you enter the particular password,
and is re-started whenever you use it. For example, writing a setting re-starts the setting password timer and writing a com-
mand register or forcing a coil re-starts the command password timer. The value read at memory location 4010 can be used
to confirm whether a command password is enabled or disabled (a value of 0 represents disabled). The value read at mem-
ory location 4011 can be used to confirm whether a setting password is enabled or disabled.
Command or setting password security access is restricted to the particular port or particular TCP/IP connection on which
the entry was made. Passwords must be entered when accessing the relay through other ports or connections, and the
passwords must be re-entered after disconnecting and re-connecting on TCP/IP.

UR_UINT16 UNSIGNED 16 BIT INTEGER DISPLAY_SCALE DISPLAY SCALING
(unsigned 16-bit integer)
MSB indicates the SI units as a power of ten. LSB indicates the
F002
number of decimal points to display.
UR_SINT16 SIGNED 16 BIT INTEGER
Example: Current values are stored as 32 bit numbers with three
decimal places and base units in Amps. If the retrieved value is
F003 12345.678 A and the display scale equals 0x0302 then the dis-
UR_UINT32 UNSIGNED 32 BIT INTEGER (2 registers) played value on the unit is 12.35 kA.

High order word is stored in the first register.


Low order word is stored in the second register.
F013
POWER_FACTOR (SIGNED 16 BIT INTEGER)
F004 Positive values indicate lagging power factor; negative values
UR_SINT32 SIGNED 32 BIT INTEGER (2 registers) indicate leading.

High order word is stored in the first register/


Low order word is stored in the second register. F040
UR_UINT48 48-BIT UNSIGNED INTEGER

F005
UR_UINT8 UNSIGNED 8 BIT INTEGER
F050
UR_UINT32 TIME and DATE (UNSIGNED 32 BIT INTEGER)
F006 Gives the current time in seconds elapsed since 00:00:00 January

F011 F051
UR_UINT16 FLEXCURVE DATA (120 points) UR_UINT32 DATE in SR format (alternate format for F050)

A FlexCurve is an array of 120 consecutive data points (x, y) which First 16 bits are Month/Day (MM/DD/xxxx). Month: 1=January,
are interpolated to generate a smooth curve. The y-axis is the user 2=February,...,12=December; Day: 1 to 31 in steps of 1
defined trip or operation time setting; the x-axis is the pickup ratio Last 16 bits are Year (xx/xx/YYYY): 1970 to 2106 in steps of 1
and is pre-defined. Refer to format F119 for a listing of the pickup
ratios; the enumeration value for the pickup ratio indicates the off-
set into the FlexCurve base address where the corresponding time F052
value is stored. UR_UINT32 TIME in SR format (alternate format for F050)
First 16 bits are Hours/Minutes (HH:MM:xx.xxx).
Hours: 0=12am, 1=1am,...,12=12pm,...23=11pm;
Minutes: 0 to 59 in steps of 1
Last 16 bits are Seconds (xx:xx:.SS.SSS): 0=00.000s,
1=00.001,...,59999=59.999s)

APPENDIX C C.1 OVERVIEW

APPENDIX C IEC 61850 COMMUNICATIONSC.1OVERVIEW C.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The IEC 61850 standard is the result of electric utilities and vendors of electronic equipment to produce standardized com-
munications systems. IEC 61850 is a series of standards describing client/server and peer-to-peer communications, sub-
station design and configuration, testing, environmental and project standards. The complete set includes:
IEC 61850-1: Introduction and overview
IEC 61850-2: Glossary
IEC 61850-3: General requirements
IEC 61850-4: System and project management
IEC 61850-5: Communications and requirements for functions and device models

These documents can be obtained from the IEC (http://www.iec.ch). It is strongly recommended that all those involved with
any IEC 61850 implementation obtain this document set.

C.1.2 COMMUNICATION PROFILES

IEC 61850 specifies the use of the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) at the upper (application) layer for transfer
of real-time data. This protocol has been in existence for several of years and provides a set of services suitable for the
transfer of data within a substation LAN environment. Actual MMS protocol services are mapped to IEC 61850 abstract ser-
vices in IEC 61850-8-1.
The D30 relay supports IEC 61850 server services over both TCP/IP and TP4/CLNP (OSI) communication protocol stacks.
The TP4/CLNP profile requires the D30 to have a network address or Network Service Access Point (NSAP) to establish a
communication link. The TCP/IP profile requires the D30 to have an IP address to establish communications. These
addresses are located in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK menu. Note that the D30
supports IEC 61850 over the TP4/CLNP or TCP/IP stacks, and also operation over both stacks simultaneously. It is possi-
ble to have up to five simultaneous connections (in addition to DNP and Modbus/TCP (non-IEC 61850) connections).
Client/server: This is a connection-oriented type of communication. The connection is initiated by the client, and com-
munication activity is controlled by the client. IEC 61850 clients are often substation computers running HMI programs
or SOE logging software. Servers are usually substation equipment such as protection relays, meters, RTUs, trans-
former tap changers, or bay controllers.
Peer-to-peer: This is a non-connection-oriented, high speed type of communication usually between substation equip-
ment such as protection relays. GSSE and GOOSE are methods of peer-to-peer communication.
Substation configuration language (SCL): A substation configuration language is a number of files used to describe
the configuration of substation equipment. Each configured device has an IEC Capability Description (ICD) file. The
substation single line information is stored in a System Specification Description (SSD) file. The entire substation con-
figuration is stored in a Substation Configuration Description (SCD) file. The SCD file is the combination of the individ-
ual ICD files and the SSD file.

C.2 SERVER DATA ORGANIZATION APPENDIX C

C.2SERVER DATA ORGANIZATION C.2.1 OVERVIEW

IEC 61850 defines an object-oriented approach to data and services. An IEC 61850 physical device can contain one or
more logical device(s). Each logical device can contain many logical nodes. Each logical node can contain many data
objects. Each data object is composed of data attributes and data attribute components. Services are available at each
level for performing various functions, such as reading, writing, control commands, and reporting.
Each D30 IED represents one IEC 61850 physical device. The physical device contains one logical device, and the logical
device contains many logical nodes. The logical node LPHD1 contains information about the D30 IED physical device. The
logical node LLN0 contains information about the D30 IED logical device.

C.2.2 GGIO1: DIGITAL STATUS VALUES

C The GGIO1 logical node is available in the D30 to provide access to as many 128 digital status points and associated time-
stamps and quality flags. The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO1 provides digital status
points for access by clients.
It is intended that clients use GGIO1 in order to access digital status values from the D30. Configuration settings are pro-
vided to allow the selection of the number of digital status indications available in GGIO1 (8 to 128), and to allow the choice
of the D30 FlexLogic operands that drive the status of the GGIO1 status indications. Clients can utilize the IEC 61850
buffered and unbuffered reporting features available from GGIO1 in order to build sequence of events (SOE) logs and HMI
display screens. Buffered reporting should generally be used for SOE logs since the buffering capability reduces the
chances of missing data state changes. Unbuffered reporting should generally be used for local status display.

C.2.3 GGIO2: DIGITAL CONTROL VALUES

The GGIO2 logical node is available to provide access to the D30 virtual inputs. Virtual inputs are single-point control
(binary) values that can be written by clients. They are generally used as control inputs. GGIO2 provides access to the vir-
tual inputs through the IEC 61850 standard control model (ctlModel) services:
Status only.
Direct control with normal security.
SBO control with normal security.
Configuration settings are available to select the control model for each point. Each virtual input used through GGIO2
should have its VIRTUAL INPUT 1(64) FUNCTION setting programmed as Enabled and its corresponding GGIO2 CF SPSCO1(64)
CTLMODEL setting programmed to the appropriate control configuration.

C.2.4 GGIO3: DIGITAL STATUS AND ANALOG VALUES FROM RECEIVED GOOSE DATA

The GGIO3 logical node is available to provide access for clients to values received via configurable GOOSE messages.
The values of the digital status indications and analog values in GGIO3 originate in GOOSE messages sent from other
devices.

C.2.5 GGIO4: GENERIC ANALOG MEASURED VALUES

The GGIO4 logical node provides access to as many as 32 analog value points, as well as associated timestamps and
quality flags. The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO4 provides analog values for access
by clients.
It is intended that clients use GGIO4 to access generic analog values from the D30. Configuration settings allow the selec-
tion of the number of analog values available in GGIO4 (4 to 32) and the choice of the FlexAnalog values that determine
the value of the GGIO4 analog inputs. Clients can utilize polling or the IEC 61850 unbuffered reporting feature available
from GGIO4 in order to obtain the analog values provided by GGIO4.

C-2 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


APPENDIX C C.2 SERVER DATA ORGANIZATION

C.2.6 MMXU: ANALOG MEASURED VALUES

A limited number of measured analog values are available through the MMXU logical nodes.
Each MMXU logical node provides data from a D30 current and voltage source. There is one MMXU available for each con-
figurable source (programmed in the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP SIGNAL SOURCES menu). MMXU1 provides data
from D30 source 1, and MMXU2 provides data from D30 source 2.
MMXU data is provided in two forms: instantaneous and deadband. The instantaneous values are updated every time a
read operation is performed by a client. The deadband values are calculated as described in IEC 61850 parts 7-1 and 7-3.
The selection of appropriate deadband settings for the D30 is described in chapter 5 of this manual.
IEC 61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting capability is available in all MMXU logical nodes. MMXUx logical nodes pro-
vide the following data for each source:
MMXU1.MX.TotW: three-phase real power
MMXU1.MX.TotVAr: three-phase reactive power
C
MMXU1.MX.TotVA: three-phase apparent power
MMXU1.MX.TotPF: three-phase power factor
MMXU1.MX.Hz: frequency
MMXU1.MX.PPV.phsAB: phase AB voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU1.MX.PPV.phsBC: phase BC voltage magnitude and angle

C.2.7 PROTECTION AND OTHER LOGICAL NODES

The following list describes the protection elements for all UR-series relays. The D30 relay will contain a subset of protec-
tion elements from this list.
PDIF: bus differential, transformer instantaneous differential, transformer percent differential

The protection elements listed above contain start (pickup) and operate flags. For example, the start flag for PIOC1 is
PIOC1.ST.Str.general. The operate flag for PIOC1 is PIOC1.ST.Op.general. For the D30 protection elements, these flags
take their values from the pickup and operate FlexLogic operands for the corresponding element.
Some protection elements listed above contain directional start values. For example, the directional start value for PDIS1 is
PDIS1.ST.Str.dirGeneral. This value is built from the directional FlexLogic operands for the element.
The RFLO logical node contains the measurement of the distance to fault calculation in kilometers. This value originates in
the fault locator function.
The XCBR logical node is directly associated with the breaker control feature.
XCBR1.ST.Loc: This is the state of the XCBR1 local/remote switch. A setting is provided to assign a FlexLogic oper-
and to determine the state. When local mode is true, IEC 61850 client commands will be rejected.
XCBR1.ST.Opcnt: This is an operation counter as defined in IEC 61850. Command settings are provided to allow the
counter to be cleared.
XCBR1.ST.Pos: This is the position of the breaker. The breaker control FlexLogic operands are used to determine
this state. If the breaker control logic indicates that the breaker, or any single pole of the breaker, is closed, then the
breaker position state is on. If the breaker control logic indicates that the breaker is open, then the breaker position
state is off.
XCBR1.ST.BlkOpn: This is the state of the block open command logic. When true, breaker open commands from IEC
61850 clients will be rejected.
XCBR1.ST.BlkCls: This is the state of the block close command logic. When true, breaker close commands from IEC
61850 clients will be rejected.
XCBR1.CO.Pos: This is where IEC 61850 clients can issue open or close commands to the breaker. SBO control with
normal security is the only supported IEC 61850 control model.
XCBR1.CO.BlkOpn: This is where IEC 61850 clients can issue block open commands to the breaker. Direct control
with normal security is the only supported IEC 61850 control model.
XCBR1.CO.BlkCls: This is where IEC 61850 clients can issue block close commands to the breaker. Direct control
with normal security is the only supported IEC 61850 control model.

APPENDIX C C.3 SERVER FEATURES AND CONFIGURATION

C.3SERVER FEATURES AND CONFIGURATION C.3.1 BUFFERED/UNBUFFERED REPORTING

IEC 61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting is provided in the GGIO1 logical nodes (for binary status values) and MMXU1
to MMXU6 (for analog measured values). Report settings can be configured using the EnerVista UR Setup software, sub-
station configurator software, or via an IEC 61850 client. The following items can be configured:
TrgOps: Trigger options. The following bits are supported by the D30:
Bit 1: data-change
Bit 4: integrity
Bit 5: general interrogation
OptFlds: Option Fields. The following bits are supported by the D30:
Bit 1: sequence-number
Bit 2: report-time-stamp
C
Bit 3: reason-for-inclusion
Bit 4: data-set-name
Bit 5: data-reference
Bit 6: buffer-overflow (for buffered reports only)
Bit 7: entryID (for buffered reports only)
Bit 8: conf-revision
Bit 9: segmentation
IntgPd: Integrity period.
BufTm: Buffer time.

C.3.2 FILE TRANSFER

MMS file services are supported to allow transfer of oscillography, event record, or other files from a D30 relay.

C.3.3 TIMESTAMPS AND SCANNING

The timestamp values associated with all IEC 61850 data items represent the time of the last change of either the value or
quality flags of the data item. To accomplish this functionality, all IEC 61850 data items must be regularly scanned for data
changes, and the timestamp updated when a change is detected, regardless of the connection status of any IEC 61850 cli-
ents. For applications where there is no IEC 61850 client in use, the IEC 61850 SERVER SCANNING setting can be pro-
grammed as Disabled. If a client is in use, this setting should be programmed as Enabled to ensure the proper
generation of IEC 61850 timestamps.

C.3.4 LOGICAL DEVICE NAME

The logical device name is used to identify the IEC 61850 logical device that exists within the D30. This name is composed
of two parts: the IED name setting and the logical device instance. The complete logical device name is the combination of
the two character strings programmed in the IEDNAME and LD INST settings. The default values for these strings are IED-
Name and LDInst. These values should be changed to reflect a logical naming convention for all IEC 61850 logical
devices in the system.

C.3.5 LOCATION

The LPHD1 logical node contains a data attribute called location (LPHD1.DC.PhyNam.location). This is a character string
meant to describe the physical location of the D30. This attribute is programmed through the LOCATION setting and its
default value is Location. This value should be changed to describe the actual physical location of the D30.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System C-5


C.3 SERVER FEATURES AND CONFIGURATION APPENDIX C

C.3.6 LOGICAL NODE NAME PREFIXES

IEC 61850 specifies that each logical node can have a name with a total length of 11 characters. The name is composed of:
a five or six-character name prefix.
a four-character standard name (for example, MMXU, GGIO, PIOC, etc.).
a one or two-character instantiation index.
Complete names are of the form xxxxxxPIOC1, where the xxxxxx character string is configurable. Details regarding the
logical node naming rules are given in IEC 61850 parts 6 and 7-2. It is recommended that a consistent naming convention
be used for an entire substation project.

C.3.7 CONNECTION TIMING

C A built-in TCP/IP connection timeout of two minutes is employed by the D30 to detect dead connections. If there is no data
traffic on a TCP connection for greater than two minutes, the connection will be aborted by the D30. This frees up the con-
nection to be used by other clients. Therefore, when using IEC 61850 reporting, clients should configure report control
block items such that an integrity report will be issued at least every 2 minutes (120000 ms). This ensures that the D30 will
not abort the connection. If other MMS data is being polled on the same connection at least once every 2 minutes, this tim-
eout will not apply.

C.3.8 NON-IEC 61850 DATA

The D30 relay makes available a number of non-IEC 61850 data items. These data items can be accessed through the
UR MMS domain. IEC 61850 data can be accessed through the standard IEC 61850 logical device. To access the non-
IEC data items, the INCLUDE NON-IEC DATA setting must be Enabled.

C.3.9 COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE UTILITIES

The exact structure and values of the supported IEC 61850 logical nodes can be seen by connecting to a D30 relay with an
MMS browser, such as the MMS Object Explorer and AXS4-MMS DDE/OPC server from Sisco Inc.

APPENDIX C C.4 GENERIC SUBSTATION EVENT SERVICES: GSSE AND GOOSE

C.4GENERIC SUBSTATION EVENT SERVICES: GSSE AND GOOSE C.4.1 OVERVIEW

IEC 61850 specifies two types of peer-to-peer data transfer services: Generic Substation State Events (GSSE) and Generic
Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE). GSSE services are compatible with UCA 2.0 GOOSE. IEC 61850 GOOSE
services provide virtual LAN (VLAN) support, Ethernet priority tagging, and Ethertype Application ID configuration. The sup-
port for VLANs and priority tagging allows for the optimization of Ethernet network traffic. GOOSE messages can be given
a higher priority than standard Ethernet traffic, and they can be separated onto specific VLANs. Because of the additional
features of GOOSE services versus GSSE services, it is recommended that GOOSE be used wherever backwards com-
patibility with GSSE (or UCA 2.0 GOOSE) is not required.
Devices that transmit GSSE and/or GOOSE messages also function as servers. Each GSSE publisher contains a GSSE
control block to configure and control the transmission. Each GOOSE publisher contains a GOOSE control block to con-
figure and control the transmission. The transmission is also controlled via device settings. These settings can be seen in
the ICD and/or SCD files, or in the device configuration software or files.
IEC 61850 recommends a default priority value of 4 for GOOSE. Ethernet traffic that does not contain a priority tag has a
C
default priority of 1. More details are specified in IEC 61850 part 8-1.
IEC 61850 recommends that the Ethertype Application ID number be configured according to the GOOSE source. In the
D30, the transmitted GOOSE Application ID number must match the configured receive Application ID number in the
receiver. A common number may be used for all GOOSE transmitters in a system. More details are specified in IEC 61850
part 8-1.

C.4.2 GSSE CONFIGURATION

IEC 61850 Generic Substation Status Event (GSSE) communication is compatible with UCA GOOSE communication.
GSSE messages contain a number of double point status data items. These items are transmitted in two pre-defined data
structures named DNA and UserSt. Each DNA and UserSt item is referred to as a bit pair. GSSE messages are transmit-
ted in response to state changes in any of the data points contained in the message. GSSE messages always contain the
same number of DNA and UserSt bit pairs. Depending the on the configuration, only some of these bit pairs may have val-
ues that are of interest to receiving devices.
The GSSE FUNCTION, GSSE ID, and GSSE DESTINATION MAC ADDRESS settings are used to configure GSSE transmission.
GSSE FUNCTION is set to Enabled to enable the transmission. If a valid multicast Ethernet MAC address is entered for the
GSSE DESTINATION MAC ADDRESS setting, this address will be used as the destination MAC address for GSSE messages. If
a valid multicast Ethernet MAC address is not entered (for example, 00 00 00 00 00 00), the D30 will use the source Ether-
net MAC address as the destination, with the multicast bit set.

C.4.3 FIXED GOOSE

The D30 supports two types of IEC 61850 Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) communication: fixed
GOOSE and configurable GOOSE. All GOOSE messages contain IEC 61850 data collected into a dataset. It is this dataset
that is transferred using GOOSE message services. The dataset transferred using the D30 fixed GOOSE is the same data
that is transferred using the GSSE feature; that is, the DNA and UserSt bit pairs. The FlexLogic operands that determine
the state of the DNA and UserSt bit pairs are configurable via settings, but the fixed GOOSE dataset always contains the
same DNA/UserSt data structure. Upgrading from GSSE to GOOSE services is simply a matter of enabling fixed GOOSE
and disabling GSSE. The remote inputs and outputs are configured in the same manner for both GSSE and fixed GOOSE.
It is recommended that the fixed GOOSE be used for implementations that require GOOSE data transfer between UR-
series IEDs. Configurable GOOSE may be used for implementations that require GOOSE data transfer between UR-series
IEDs and devices from other manufacturers.

C.4.4 CONFIGURABLE GOOSE

The configurable GOOSE feature allows for the configuration of the datasets to be transmitted or received from the D30.
The D30 supports the configuration of eight (8) transmission and reception datasets, allowing for the optimization of data
transfer between devices.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System C-7


C.4 GENERIC SUBSTATION EVENT SERVICES: GSSE AND GOOSE APPENDIX C

Items programmed for dataset 1 will have changes in their status transmitted as soon as the change is detected. Dataset 1
should be used for high-speed transmission of data that is required for applications such as transfer tripping, blocking, and
breaker fail initiate. At least one digital status value needs to be configured in dataset 1 to enable transmission of all data
configured for dataset 1. Configuring analog data only to dataset 1 will not activate transmission.
Items programmed for datasets 2 through 8 will have changes in their status transmitted at a maximum rate of every
100 ms. Datasets 2 through 8 will regularly analyze each data item configured within them every 100 ms to identify if any
changes have been made. If any changes in the data items are detected, these changes will be transmitted through a
GOOSE message. If there are no changes detected during this 100 ms period, no GOOSE message will be sent.
For all datasets 1 through 8, the integrity GOOSE message will still continue to be sent at the pre-configured rate even if no
changes in the data items are detected.
The GOOSE functionality was enhanced to prevent the relay from flooding a communications network with GOOSE mes-
sages due to an oscillation being created that is triggering a message.
C The D30 has the ability of detecting if a data item in one of the GOOSE datasets is erroneously oscillating. This can be
caused by events such as errors in logic programming, inputs improperly being asserted and de-asserted, or failed station
components. If erroneously oscillation is detected, the D30 will stop sending GOOSE messages from the dataset for a min-
imum period of one second. Should the oscillation persist after the one second time-out period, the D30 will continue to
block transmission of the dataset. The D30 will assert the MAINTENANCE ALERT: GGIO Ind XXX oscill self-test error mes-
sage on the front panel display, where XXX denotes the data item detected as oscillating.
The configurable GOOSE feature is recommended for applications that require GOOSE data transfer between UR-series
IEDs and devices from other manufacturers. Fixed GOOSE is recommended for applications that require GOOSE data
transfer between UR-series IEDs.
IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging contains a number of configurable parameters, all of which must be correct to achieve the
successful transfer of data. It is critical that the configured datasets at the transmission and reception devices are an exact
match in terms of data structure, and that the GOOSE addresses and name strings match exactly. Manual configuration is
possible, but third-party substation configuration software may be used to automate the process. The EnerVista UR Setup-
software can produce IEC 61850 ICD files and import IEC 61850 SCD files produced by a substation configurator (refer to
the IEC 61850 IED configuration section later in this appendix).
The following example illustrates the configuration required to transfer IEC 61850 data items between two devices. The
general steps required for transmission configuration are:
1. Configure the transmission dataset.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings.
3. Configure the data.
The general steps required for reception configuration are:
1. Configure the reception dataset.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings.
3. Configure the data.
This example shows how to configure the transmission and reception of three IEC 61850 data items: a single point status
value, its associated quality flags, and a floating point analog value.
The following procedure illustrates the transmission configuration.
1. Configure the transmission dataset by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATION
IEC 61850 PROTOCOL GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION TRANSMISSION CONFIGURABLE GOOSE CONFIGURABLE
GOOSE 1 CONFIG GSE 1 DATASET ITEMS settings menu:

Set ITEM 1 to GGIO1.ST.Ind1.q to indicate quality flags for GGIO1 status indication 1.
Set ITEM 2 to GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal to indicate the status value for GGIO1 status indication 1.
The transmission dataset now contains a set of quality flags and a single point status Boolean value. The reception
dataset on the receiving device must exactly match this structure.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATION
IEC 61850 PROTOCOL GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION TRANSMISSION CONFIGURABLE GOOSE CONFIGU-
RABLE GOOSE 1 settings menu:

C-8 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


APPENDIX C C.4 GENERIC SUBSTATION EVENT SERVICES: GSSE AND GOOSE

Set CONFIG GSE 1 FUNCTION to Enabled.


Set CONFIG GSE 1 ID to an appropriate descriptive string (the default value is GOOSEOut_1).
Set CONFIG GSE 1 DST MAC to a multicast address (for example, 01 00 00 12 34 56).
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 VLAN PRIORITY; the default value of 4 is OK for this example.
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 VLAN ID value; the default value is 0, but some switches may require this value to be 1.
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 ETYPE APPID value. This setting represents the Ethertype application ID and must match the
configuration on the receiver (the default value is 0).
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 CONFREV value. This value changes automatically as described in IEC 61850 part 7-2. For
this example it can be left at its default value.
3. Configure the data by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATION IEC 61850 PROTO-
COL GGIO1 STATUS CONFIGURATION settings menu:
Set GGIO1 INDICATION 1 to a FlexLogic operand used to provide the status of GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal (for example,
C
a contact input, virtual input, a protection element status, etc.).
The D30 must be rebooted (control power removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect.
The following procedure illustrates the reception configuration.
1. Configure the reception dataset by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATION IEC
61850 PROTOCOL GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION RECEPTION CONFIGURABLE GOOSE CONFIGURABLE GOOSE
1 CONFIG GSE 1 DATASET ITEMS settings menu:

Set ITEM 1 to GGIO3.ST.Ind1.q to indicate quality flags for GGIO3 status indication 1.
Set ITEM 2 to GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal to indicate the status value for GGIO3 status indication 1.
The reception dataset now contains a set of quality flags, a single point status Boolean value, and a floating point ana-
log value. This matches the transmission dataset configuration above.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings by making the following changes in the INPUTS/OUTPUTS REMOTE DEVICES
REMOTE DEVICE 1 settings menu:
Set REMOTE DEVICE 1 ID to match the GOOSE ID string for the transmitting device. Enter GOOSEOut_1.
Set REMOTE DEVICE 1 ETYPE APPID to match the Ethertype application ID from the transmitting device. This is 0 in
the example above.
Set the REMOTE DEVICE 1 DATASET value. This value represents the dataset number in use. Since we are using
configurable GOOSE 1 in this example, program this value as GOOSEIn 1.
3. Configure the data by making the following changes in the INPUTS/OUTPUTS REMOTE INPUTS REMOTE INPUT 1
settings menu:
Set REMOTE IN 1 DEVICE to GOOSEOut_1.
Set REMOTE IN 1 ITEM to Dataset Item 2. This assigns the value of the GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal single point status
item to remote input 1.
Remote input 1 can now be used in FlexLogic equations or other settings. The D30 must be rebooted (control power
removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect.
The value of remote input 1 (Boolean on or off) in the receiving device will be determined by the GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal value
in the sending device. The above settings will be automatically populated by the EnerVista UR Setup software when a com-
plete SCD file is created by third party substation configurator software.

C.4.5 ETHERNET MAC ADDRESS FOR GSSE/GOOSE

Ethernet capable devices each contain a unique identifying address called a Media Access Control (MAC) address. This
address cannot be changed and is unique for each Ethernet device produced worldwide. The address is six bytes in length
and is usually represented as six hexadecimal values (for example, 00 A0 F4 01 02 03). It is used in all Ethernet frames as
the source address of the frame. Each Ethernet frame also contains a destination address. The destination address can
be different for each Ethernet frame depending on the intended destination of the frame.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System C-9


C.4 GENERIC SUBSTATION EVENT SERVICES: GSSE AND GOOSE APPENDIX C

A special type of destination address called a multicast address is used when the Ethernet frame can be received by more
than one device. An Ethernet MAC address is multicast when the least significant bit of the first byte is set (for example, 01
00 00 00 00 00 is a multicast address).
GSSE and GOOSE messages must have multicast destination MAC addresses.
By default, the D30 is configured to use an automated multicast MAC scheme. If the D30 destination MAC address setting
is not a valid multicast address (that is, the least significant bit of the first byte is not set), the address used as the destina-
tion MAC will be the same as the local MAC address, but with the multicast bit set. Thus, if the local MAC address is 00 A0
F4 01 02 03, then the destination MAC address will be 01 A0 F4 01 02 03.

C.4.6 GSSE ID AND GOOSE ID SETTINGS

GSSE messages contain an identifier string used by receiving devices to identify the sender of the message, defined in IEC
C 61850 part 8-1 as GsID. This is a programmable 65-character string. This string should be chosen to provide a descriptive
name of the originator of the GSSE message.
GOOSE messages contain an identifier string used by receiving devices to identify the sender of the message, defined in
IEC 61850 part 8-1 as GoID. This programmable 65-character string should be a descriptive name of the originator of the
GOOSE message. GOOSE messages also contain two additional character strings used for identification of the message:
DatSet - the name of the associated dataset, and GoCBRef - the reference (name) of the associated GOOSE control block.
These strings are automatically populated and interpreted by the D30; no settings are required.

APPENDIX C C.5 IEC 61850 IMPLEMENTATION VIA ENERVISTA UR SETUP

C.5IEC 61850 IMPLEMENTATION VIA ENERVISTA UR SETUP C.5.1 OVERVIEW

The D30 can be configured for IEC 61850 via the EnerVista UR Setup software as follows.
1. An ICD file is generated for the D30 by the EnerVista UR Setup software that describe the capabilities of the IED.
2. The ICD file is then imported into a system configurator along with other ICD files for other IEDs (from GE or other ven-
dors) for system configuration.
3. The result is saved to a SCD file, which is then imported back to EnerVista UR Setup to create one or more settings
file(s). The settings file(s) can then be used to update the relay(s) with the new configuration information.
The configuration process is illustrated below.

The following IEC related tools are referenced in the procedures that describe the IED configuration process for IEC 61850:
System configurator or Substation configurator: This is an IED independent system level tool that can import or
export configuration files defined by IEC 61850-6. It can import configuration files (ICD) from several IEDs for system
level engineering and is used to add system information shared by different IEDs. The system configuration generates
a substation related configuration file (SCD) which is fed back to the IED configurator (for example, EnerVista UR
Setup) for system related IED configuration. The system configurator should also be able to read a system specifica-
tion file (SSD) to use as base for starting system engineering, or to compare it with an engineered system for the same
substation.
IED configurator: This is a vendor specific tool that can directly or indirectly generate an ICD file from the IED (for
example, from a settings file). It can also import a system SCL file (SCD) to set communication configuration parame-
ters (that is, required addresses, reception GOOSE datasets, IDs of incoming GOOSE datasets, etc.) for the IED. The
IED configurator functionality is implemented in the GE Multilin EnerVista UR Setup software.

C.5.2 CONFIGURING IEC 61850 SETTINGS

Before creating an ICD file, the user can customize the IEC 61850 related settings for the IED. For example, the IED name
and logical device instance can be specified to uniquely identify the IED within the substation, or transmission GOOSE
datasets created so that the system configurator can configure the cross-communication links to send GOOSE messages
from the IED. Once the IEC 61850 settings are configured, the ICD creation process will recognize the changes and gener-
ate an ICD file that contains the updated settings.
Some of the IED settings will be modified during they system configuration process. For example, a new IP address may be
assigned, line items in a Transmission GOOSE dataset may be added or deleted, or prefixes of some logical nodes may be
changed. While all new configurations will be mapped to the D30 settings file when importing an SCD file, all unchanged
settings will preserve the same values in the new settings file.
These settings can be configured either directly through the relay panel or through the EnerVista UR Setup software (pre-
ferred method). The full list of IEC 61850 related settings for are as follows:
Network configuration: IP address, IP subnet mask, and default gateway IP address (access through the Settings >
Product Setup > Communications > Network menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
Server configuration: IED name and logical device instance (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Com-
munications > IEC 61850 > Server Configuration menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
Logical node prefixes, which includes prefixes for all logical nodes except LLN0 (access through the Settings > Prod-
uct Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > Logical Node Prefixes menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).

C-12 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


APPENDIX C C.5 IEC 61850 IMPLEMENTATION VIA ENERVISTA UR SETUP

MMXU deadbands, which includes deadbands for all available MMXUs. The number of MMXUs is related to the num-
ber of CT/VT modules in the relay. There are two MMXUs for each CT/VT module. For example, if a relay contains two
CT/VT modules, there will be four MMXUs available (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Communica-
tions > IEC 61850 > MMXU Deadbands menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
GGIO1 status configuration, which includes the number of status points in GGIO1 as well as the potential internal map-
pings for each GGIO1 indication. However only the number of status points will be used in the ICD creation process
(access through the Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GGIO1 Status Configuration
menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
GGIO2 control configuration, which includes ctlModels for all SPCSOs within GGIO2 (access through the Settings >
Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GGIO2 Control Configuration menu tree in EnerVista UR
Setup).
Configurable transmission GOOSE, which includes eight configurable datasets that can be used for GOOSE transmis-
sion. The GOOSE ID can be specified for each dataset (it must be unique within the IED as well as across the whole
substation), as well as the destination MAC address, VLAN priority, VLAN ID, ETYPE APPID, and the dataset items.
C
The selection of the dataset item is restricted by firmware version; for version 5.7x, only GGIO1.ST.Indx.stVal and
GGIO1.ST.Indx.q are valid selection (where x is between 1 to N, and N is determined by number of GGIO1 status
points). Although configurable transmission GOOSE can also be created and altered by some third-party system con-
figurators, we recommend configuring transmission GOOSE for GE Multilin IEDs before creating the ICD, and strictly
within EnerVista UR Setup software or the front panel display (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Com-
munications > IEC 61850 > GSSE/GOOSE Configuration > Transmission > Tx Configurable GOOSE menu tree
in EnerVista UR Setup).
Configurable reception GOOSE, which includes eight configurable datasets that can be used for GOOSE reception.
However, unlike datasets for transmission, datasets for reception only contains dataset items, and they are usually cre-
ated automatically by process of importing the SCD file (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Communi-
cations > IEC 61850 > GSSE/GOOSE Configuration > Reception > Rx Configurable GOOSE menu tree in
EnerVista UR Setup).
Remote devices configuration, which includes remote device ID (GOOSE ID or GoID of the incoming transmission
GOOSE dataset), ETYPE APPID (of the GSE communication block for the incoming transmission GOOSE), and
DATASET (which is the name of the associated reception GOOSE dataset). These settings are usually done automat-
ically by process of importing SCD file (access through the Settings > Inputs/Outputs > Remote Devices menu tree
in EnerVista UR Setup).
Remote inputs configuration, which includes device (remote device ID) and item (which dataset item in the associated
reception GOOSE dataset to map) values. Only the items with cross-communication link created in SCD file should be
mapped. These configurations are usually done automatically by process of importing SCD file (access through the
Settings > Inputs/Outputs > Remote Inputs menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).

C.5.3 ABOUT ICD FILES

The SCL language is based on XML, and its syntax definition is described as a W3C XML Schema. ICD is one type of SCL
file (which also includes SSD, CID and SCD files). The ICD file describes the capabilities of an IED and consists of four
major sections:
Header
Communication
IEDs
DataTypeTemplates

The SubNetwork node contains all access points which can (logically) communicate with the sub-network protocol and
without the intervening router. The ConnectedAP node describes the IED access point connected to this sub-network. The
Address node contains the address parameters of the access point. The GSE node provides the address element for stat-
ing the control block related address parameters, where IdInst is the instance identification of the logical device within the
IED on which the control block is located, and cbName is the name of the control block.
The IED node describes the (pre-)configuration of an IED: its access points, the logical devices, and logical nodes instanti-
ated on it. Furthermore, it defines the capabilities of an IED in terms of communication services offered and, together with
its LNType, instantiated data (DO) and its default or configuration values. There should be only one IED section in an ICD
since it only describes one IED.

The DataTypeTemplates node defines instantiable logical node types. A logical node type is an instantiable template of the
data of a logical node. A LnodeType is referenced each time that this instantiable type is needed with an IED. A logical
node type template is built from DATA (DO) elements, which again have a DO type, which is derived from the DATA classes
(CDC). DOs consist of attributes (DA) or of elements of already defined DO types (SDO). The attribute (DA) has a func-
tional constraint, and can either have a basic type, be an enumeration, or a structure of a DAType. The DAType is built from
BDA elements, defining the structure elements, which again can be BDA elements of have a base type such as DA.

C.5.4 CREATING AN ICD FILE WITH ENERVISTA UR SETUP

An ICD file can be created directly from a connected D30 IED or from an offline D30 settings file with the EnerVista UR
Setup software using the following procedure:
1. Right-click the connected UR-series relay or settings file and select Create ICD File.

2. The EnerVista UR Setup will prompt to save the file. Select the file path and enter the name for the ICD file, then click
OK to generate the file.
The time to create an ICD file from the offline D30 settings file is typically much quicker than create an ICD file directly from
the relay.

C.5.5 ABOUT SCD FILES

System configuration is performed in the system configurator. While many vendors (including GE Multilin) are working their
own system configuration tools, there are some system configurators available in the market (for example, Siemens DIGSI
version 4.6 or above and ASE Visual SCL Beta 0.12).
Although the configuration tools vary from one vendor to another, the procedure is pretty much the same. First, a substation
project must be created, either as an empty template or with some system information by importing a system specification
file (SSD). Then, IEDs are added to the substation. Since each IED is represented by its associated ICD, the ICD files are
imported into the substation project, and the system configurator validates the ICD files during the importing process. If the
ICD files are successfully imported into the substation project, it may be necessary to perform some additional minor steps
to attach the IEDs to the substation (see the system configurator manual for details).
Once all IEDs are inserted into the substation, further configuration is possible, such as:
assigning network addresses to individual IEDs
customizing the prefixes of logical nodes
creating cross-communication links (configuring GOOSE messages to send from one IED to others)
When system configurations are complete, the results are saved to an SCD file, which contains not only the configuration
for each IED in the substation, but also the system configuration for the entire substation. Finally, the SCD file is passed
back to the IED configurator (vendor specific tool) to update the new configuration into the IED.
The SCD file consists of at least five major sections:

The SubNetwork node contains all access points which can (logically) communicate with the sub-network protocol and
without the intervening router. The ConnectedAP node describes the IED access point connected to this sub-network. The
Address node contains the address parameters of the access point. The GSE node provides the address element for stat-
ing the control block related address parameters, where IdInst is the instance identification of the logical device within the
IED on which the control block is located, and cbName is the name of the control block.

C.5.6 IMPORTING AN SCD FILE WITH ENERVISTA UR SETUP

The following procedure describes how to update the D30 with the new configuration from an SCD file with the EnerVista
UR Setup software.
1. Right-click anywhere in the files panel and select the Import Contents From SCD File item.

2. Select the saved SCD file and click Open.

C-20 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


APPENDIX C C.5 IEC 61850 IMPLEMENTATION VIA ENERVISTA UR SETUP

3. The software will open the SCD file and then prompt the user to save a UR-series settings file. Select a location and
name for the URS (UR-series relay settings) file.
If there is more than one GE Multilin IED defined in the SCD file, the software prompt the user to save a UR-series set-
tings file for each IED.
4. After the URS file is created, modify any settings (if required).
5. To update the relay with the new settings, right-click on the settings file in the settings tree and select the Write Set-
tings File to Device item.
6. The software will prompt for the target device. Select the target device from the list provided and click Send. The new
settings will be updated to the selected device.

Explanation of Sometimes: Object 12 points are mapped to UR Virtual Inputs. The persistence of Virtual Inputs is
determined by the VIRTUAL INPUT X TYPE settings. Both Pulse On and Latch On operations perform the same func-
tion in the UR; that is, the appropriate Virtual Input is put into the On state. If the Virtual Input is set to Self-Reset,
it will reset after one pass of FlexLogic. The On/Off times and Count value are ignored. Pulse Off and Latch Off
operations put the appropriate Virtual Input into the Off state. Trip and Close operations both put the appropriate
Virtual Input into the On state.

The following table identifies the variations, function codes, and qualifiers supported by the D30 in both request messages
and in response messages. For static (non-change-event) objects, requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be
responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. Static object requests sent with qualifiers 17 or 28 will be responded with qualifiers 17 or
28. For change-event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.

Note 1: A default variation refers to the variation responded when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. The default varia-
tions for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32 are selected via relay settings. Refer to the Communications section in Chapter 5
for details. This optimizes the class 0 poll data size.
Note 2: For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request is sent with qualifiers 17 or 28, respec-
tively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be responded with qualifiers 00 or 01 (for change-
event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.)
Note 3: Cold restarts are implemented the same as warm restarts the D30 is not restarted, but the DNP process is restarted.

tively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be responded with qualifiers 00 or 01 (for change-
event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.)
Note 3: Cold restarts are implemented the same as warm restarts the D30 is not restarted, but the DNP process is restarted.

A counter freeze command has no meaning for counters 8 and 9. D30 Digital Counter values are represented as 32-bit
integers. The DNP 3.0 protocol defines counters to be unsigned integers. Care should be taken when interpreting negative
counter values.

APPENDIX E E.2 DNP POINT LISTS

E.2.4 ANALOG INPUTS

The DNP analog input data points are configured through the PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS DNP / IEC104 POINT
LISTS ANALOG INPUT / MME POINTS menu. Refer to the Communications section of Chapter 5 for additional details.
It is important to note that 16-bit and 32-bit variations of analog inputs are transmitted through DNP as signed numbers.
Even for analog input points that are not valid as negative values, the maximum positive representation is 32767 for 16-bit
values and 2147483647 for 32-bit values. This is a DNP requirement.
The deadbands for all Analog Input points are in the same units as the Analog Input quantity. For example, an Analog Input
quantity measured in volts has a corresponding deadband in units of volts. This is in conformance with DNP Technical Bul-
letin 9809-001: Analog Input Reporting Deadband. Relay settings are available to set default deadband values according to
data type. Deadbands for individual Analog Input Points can be set using DNP Object 34.

Static (Steady-State) Object Number: 30


Change Event Object Number: 32
Request Function Codes supported: 1 (read), 2 (write, deadbands only), 22 (assign class)
Static Variation reported when variation 0 requested: 1 (32-Bit Analog Input)
Change Event Variation reported when variation 0 requested: 1 (Analog Change Event without Time)
Change Event Scan Rate: defaults to 500 ms
Change Event Buffer Size: 256
Default Class for all Points: 2
